  "whatItIs": "IANA registers 8194 on TCP and UDP as blp1, \"Bloomberg data API\", assigned to Bloomberg in 2006. Applications using the Bloomberg API library open a session to this port, either against the local Bloomberg Terminal process on the same workstation or against a B-PIPE/Server API appliance inside the firm. On a scan it identifies a finance desktop or a market-data server, not a general-purpose service. Access is bound to Bloomberg's own licensing and entitlement, so an open socket is not by itself usable data.",
