Have a look at the service.py file in my pybbg project. Basically a cheap way to start a server on the Bloomberg machine and then access remotely. Has been a while but should be able to adjust with minimal modifications.

do you open the bloomberg client,when you access data from bloomberg api?
Hi @bpsmith How to use your service.py script. I have script which runs weekly. This requires bloomberg terminal to be logged on at the time of run. This is not the case several times and hence I am looking for a solution where another user is logged on, during that time at a different machine.
So basically, lets say I have a bloomberg terminal logged on machine B and want to query it for data by running a script on Machine A. Both machines are windows machine. Is this possible via this script. I am assuming Machine B is the host here. If yes, how do I find the hostport for Machine B. Could you provide some detailed steps of how to run that script.
Also is a similar solution feasible for the tia package.
Thanks
