If port 9000 is free and Data Proxy API is up, why isn't the app key working?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I'm in Google Colab trying to use an app key I generated for Eikon Data API. I used this code line ek.set_app_key('AppKey') to try to connect Colab to my local Refinitiv Workspace application. It was unsuccessful - returning the following lines:

However, when I checked my Workspace app - it's saying that the Data API Proxy is ready. Am I missing something or a step?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Is it Google Colab that is a hosted Jupyter Notebook service?

If yes, the Google hosted environment can't connect to the local Workspace application.

To use the desktop session, you need to run the local Jupyty Notebook on the same machine that runs the Workspace application.

Hi sir, just to clarify - when you say "local Jupyter Notebook" I'll have to install the Jupyter app and open a notebook there. And only that alternative would work? Thanks
