#' Get Bloomberg SEF data
#'
#' The Bloomberg Swap Execution Facility (SEF) offers customers the ability to
#' execute derivative instruments across a number of different asset classes.
#' It is required to make publicly available price, trading volume and other
#' trading data. It publishes this data on its website. I have reverse
#' engineered the JavaScript libraries used by its website to call the
#' Bloomberg Application Service using `POST` requests to a target URL.
#'
#' @param start the date from which data is required as Date or DateTime object.
#'   Only the year, month and day elements of the object are used. Must be of
#'   length one.
#' @param end the date for which data is required as Date or DateTime object.
#'   Only the year, month and day elements of the object are used. Must be of
#'   length one. Defaults to the `start` date.
#' @param asset_class the asset class for which you would like to download
#'   trade data. Valid inputs are `"CR"` (credit), `"IR"` (rates),
#'   `"EQ"` (equities), `"FX"` (foreign exchange), `"CO"`
#'   (commodities) and must be a string.
#' @return a tibble containing the requested data, or an empty tibble
#'   if data is unavailable
#' @references [Bloomberg SEF data](https://data.bloombergsef.com)
