Eikon Data API Proxy error

Hello,

When I try to run this line

import refinitiv.data.eikon as ek

ek.set_app_key('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

I get the following error:

ValueError: Proxy keys should use proper URL forms rather than plain scheme strings. Instead of "ftp", use "ftp://&quot;

The line works fine when I run it inside Eikon's CODEBOOK and but I'm unable to run it outside.

Is there something that I'm missing here?

Thanks

Thank you for the update.

According to the log, it relates to the McAfee Web Gateway running on the machine.

The McAfee may intercept this request and reject it. You may need to contact your local IT support team to verify this issue.

However, some users can solve this issue by setting the NO_PROXY environment variable.

import os
os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = '127.0.0.1'

Hi @youness-toufik ,

Thank you for using our eikon API.

The root cause isn't obvious: it could come from not up-to-date dependencies or from your environment (if you have user proxy or firewall).
But first, I'll suggest to secure your Python environment with following command:

pip install eikon --force-reinstall

conda install eikon --force-reinstall

If you start to use python API, I suggest also to switch to refinitiv-data lib.

Hi,

Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. I tried what you mentioned but now I get the attached log file.
