LSEG Data Library Python API: Missing scopes error in a Platform Session

josef

Hello, I have a question about the LSEG Data Library for Python API.

I usually use the API while the app is running (Desktop Session), and it works no problem.

I would like to try use this on my Linux machine, and since the Workspace app doesn't run on Linux, I am connecting using a Platform Session.

When I try this, the session opens successfully with my username and password, but I get a Missing scopes error when trying to retrieve data.

Why is it working fine in a Desktop Session but not in a Platform Session?

Hello @josef

Workspace (desktop) and Data Platform (platform) are two different products. Former is geared for individual user and latter provides API access and data can be used in enterprise applications. A user cannot use platform session without signing up for RDP product.
