Can a windows task scheduler be used to run a Python script that connects to Eikon API?

We are trying to migrate a Jupyter Notebook that calls the Eikon API to a Python script that will be executed on a regular schedule. We are going to use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule the execution.
We would like to have this task run whether a user is logged in or not. Is this possible for Eikon or does Eikon require an interactive user session?

Hi @rupa,
Eikon and Workspace are licensed to an individual user and the said user has to be logged in to use the API. The use case you are trying to achieve, is more suited to use enterprise grade APIs like LSEG Data Platform or DSS etc.

Thank you for your response. I will get in touch with our account manager to inquire about the Data Platform API and possibly the Websocket API. Appreciate the help.

Hi @rupa ,
eikon Python lib will is deprecating with Eikon by end of 2024. It's recommended to migrate to refinitiv-data or, even better, to new lseg-data lib.
The good news : if you switch to an enterprise account, refinitiv-data and new lseg-data libs can be used !
Check platform session (left column) compare to desktop session for Eikon/Workspace users:
