Will Migration from Eikon to Workspace Affect Eikon Data API for Python Code/Formulas?

katherinemalagueno

Raising this on behalf of client as they are planning to migrate from Eikon to Workspace and currently uses the Eikon data API for Python ( https://pypi.org/project/eikon/ ). The functions they rely on include the following: get_data(), get_news_headlines(), and get_symbology().

They would like to confirm whether it is possible to migrate their existing workflows to Workspace without making changes to the current code or formulas. Specifically, could you let us know how they can convert (or if they can reuse) these functions in the Workspace system while keeping the input parameters intact?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The Eikon Data API code should work fine with the LSEG Workspace.

However, the client should consider migrate the application to use the LSEG Data Library for Python instead.

The LSEG Data Library for Python is newer and supports more features, such as search, IPA, ESG, etc.

The examples are on GitHub. For more information, please refer to this Upgrade from using Eikon Data API to the Data library article.
