Is there a tutorial on converting the Python Eikon API to Workspace API?

User1

Once again, I'm getting the following error:

EikonError: Error code 400 | Backend error. 400 Bad Request

I'm hoping that moving from the Eikon API to Workspace API (or whatever the new API is called) will help prevent such errors in the future.

I'm unsure of the Workspace package name that needs to be installed using: pip install <package_name>. Also, do I need a new app key or can I use the same one from Eikon. If I do need a new app key, how do I generate it?

Some examples of Eikon calls currently in my Python code are import eikon as ek,
ek.set_app_key('xxxx'), ek.get_data, and ek.get_news_story.

Is there a general tutorial available for moving from the Eikon API environment to the Workspace API environment (or whatever the new API environment is called). I need this specifically for Python. I'm accessing Python through Jupyter Notebook not through LSEG's own editor.

Thanks

Hello @User1

There is not much difference in the SDK and your code and app key should work as is.

For any future development, we would advise using the LSEG Data Library for Python. Here is the Quickstart and Tutorials for this library. There are lot of examples for this library on GitHub.

If you mean Codebook, then please see the examples that are included with every Codebook instance.

Hello @User1

There is a https://developers.lseg.com/en/article-catalog/article/Upgrade-from-using-Eikon-Data-API-to-the-Data-library article that shows how to migrate from the Eikon Data API to the https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/lseg-data-platform/lseg-data-library-for-python .

Your existing app-key from the Eikon Data API should work fine with the Data Library.
