Latest Stock Price
To extract latest stock price data from Bloomberg website, you can use the following piece of python code. You will need to have python installed and save this code into a .py file to run. This is a very efficient piece of code as it uses the json format and doesn't scrap from the entire webpage. Assign the 'ticker' variable below with your desired stock ticker.
import urllib
import re
import json
ticker="AAPL:US" # simply replace this with your desired stock ticker
htmltext = urllib.urlopen("http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/watchlist/recent-ticker/"+ticker)
data = json.load(htmltext)
print data['last_price']

import json

htmltext = urllib.urlopen("http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/chart/data/1D/"+ticker)
data = json.load(htmltext)
datavalues=data['data_values']
for datavalue in datavalues:
print datavalue[1]
print "number of data points" , len(datavalues)
