No refinitiv.data attribute set_app_key

A001

Hi,

The below instructions were given to me by one of your representatives. They said I should ask here for a resolution.

I’m on a Windows machine running Python 3.11 via Visual Studio Code. I have installed refinitiv-data and eikon via pip. Eikon is running in the background. Scripts are running in Codebook without a problem.

I have restarted both apps and the machine. Same error. Please advise on how to proceed. Thank you

Sample script:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

import refinitiv.data as rd

import eikon as ek

import pandas as pd

rd.set_app_key('key……..')

rd.open_session()

rd.get_data(['LSEG.L', 'VOD.L'])

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

c:\Users\acc_name\Coding\test\test1.py in line 5

2 import eikon as ek

3 import pandas as pd

----> 5 rd.set_app_key('key……..')

7 rd.open_session()

9 rd.get_data(['LSEG.L', 'VOD.L'])

File c:\Users\acc_name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\refinitiv\data\_tools\_lazy_loader.py:81, in attach.<locals>.__getattr__(name)

AttributeError: No refinitiv.data attribute set_app_key

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The RD library doesn't have the set_app_key method.

Typically, you can use the RD library (import refinitiv.data as rd) or Eikon Data API (import eikon as ek), but not both because both libraries provide the similar functionalities.

I suggest to use only the RD library (import refinitiv.data as rd).

You can refer to the RD library examples on GitHub.

1. Download and unzip the examples

2. Modify the Configuration/refinitiv-data.config.json file by setting the default session to "desktop.workspace" and setting the application key

3. Run some examples
