Regarding Eikon API

I want to fetch the timeseries data without running the refinitiv desktop or app running in background. And also I have to run my script on server. How I can do that.

Hello @vasu01
The Eikon Data API requires the Eikon/Workspace desktop to run in the same machine as the API Proxy.
If you need to run application separately without Eikon/Workspace, you need to move to the Refinitiv Data Library for Python with the Platform session that consume data from the Refinitiv Data Platform.
You can find the library resources here:
- Refinitiv Data Library for Python: Quick Start(please look for Platform - Refinitiv Data Platform section)
- Example code with step-by-step tutorials: https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python
- Historical API example 1: https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python/blob/main/Examples/1-Access/EX-1.01.02-GetHistory.ipynb
- Historical API example 2: https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python/tree/main/Examples/2-Content/2.01-HistoricalPricing
### Caution !!! ###
The Platform session needs the RDP credentials (which has a different permission set to Eikon). Please contact your Account Manager to help with the credentials.
Please note that the Platform session cannot always access the same data as a Desktop session/Eikon data API e.g. the TR. fields. This is mostly due to 3rd party license/usage rules which only allow some data to be used on a Desktop.
