The Bloomberg API port — where blpapi clients connect for market data.
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.
Do not expose
This is an entitled market-data feed inside a licensed environment; it belongs on the internal network and never on a public interface.
