Eikon to Workspace API

KatherineMae.Malagueno

1. Is the Workspace API compatible with Eikon Desktop Data API or is there a need to revamp the application? We use EikonDesktopDataAPI.dll.

2. Does the Workspace API support leased line connection?

@KatherineMae.Malagueno So no that is the Eikon 4 Desktop Data API (.NET) - these APIs will not be available in Workspace and the customer will have to rewrite their code to use our more modern APIs. We have a migration guide for going from COM API to the Refinitiv Data Libraries (Python) - but we also have a .NET library which can provide similar functionality - so once they understand the COM-Python changes they should be able to implement in Refinitiv Data Libraries for .NET. Please see the section on Eikon 4 Desktop Data API (.NET) upgrades to Refinitiv Data Libraries for . NET. I hope this can help.

Hi @KatherineMae.Malagueno, May I ask which Workspace API you are referring to? The Python wrapper related to Workspace (named the RD Lib.)? Or are you referring to the Excel AddIn? If the latter, woudl you mind letting us know which AddIn you are referring to exactly?

Hi Jonathan, I asked this on behalf of a client who's migrating from Eikon to Workspace. They do have this in Eikon. Will this still work once they got migrated to Workspace?
