Error on handshake

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello,

I am facing error below, it was working ok last week.

python version: 3.11.5
eikon desktop: 4.0.54

ek version: 1.1.18

ek.set_app_key(EIKON_KEY)

2025-03-10 16:33:03,902 P[30228] [MainThread 6100] Error on handshake url http://127.0.0.1:9060/api/handshake : ReadTimeout('')
2025-03-10 16:33:03,902 P[30228] [MainThread 6100] Error on handshake url http://127.0.0.1:9060/api/handshake : ReadTimeout('')
2025-03-10 16:33:03,902 P[30228] [MainThread 6100] Port number was not identified, cannot send any request

I have done - clear cache, restart PC, restart EIKON.

"localhost:9001/ping?all" doesn't work though.

IN SxSxxxxxx file, it seems correct to me

[2025-03-10 16:30:11.682|1|sxs-api|3|DEBUG] [ws] Create endpoint=/sxs/v1/services/messenger

please advise what I could do to fix issue?

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You need to use the new LSEG Data Library for Python instead. It supports the http request timeout and loggin configurations. For example:

config = ld.get_config()
config.set_param("logs.transports.console.enabled", True)
config.set_param("logs.level", "debug")
config.set_param("logs.transports.file.name", "lseg-data-lib.log")
config.set_param("http.request-timeout", 6000)
ld.open_session()

The examples are on GitHub.

If this doesn't solve this issue, please share the lseg-data-lib.log file.

hello,

I have run this "pip install lseg-data" to install lib.

Installing collected packages: pyhumps, websocket-client, simplejson, pyee, lseg-data
Attempting uninstall: websocket-client

@onionw

Can you try this code? Please change the <app key>. The TCP port in the code is 9000.

import requests
body = {
"AppKey": "<app key>",
"AppScope": "rapi",
"ApiVersion": "1",
"LibraryName": "Eikon Python Library",
"LibraryVersion": "1.1.18"
}
r = requests.post(url="http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/handshake",
headers={"Host":"127.0.0.1","Content-Type": "application/json"},
json=body)
print(r)
print("HANDSHAKE:\n", r.text)

actually, our IT support team reinstalled a latest version EIKON, it works for me now. Thanks

I have another question then, I have posted it in new thread, could you pls help?

what is the best way to query EXPIR_DATE, SETTLEPRICE for both brent and gasoil futures from 2020 to 2024? does this get_history() work? what is universe ric to use?

import lseg.data as ld

df = ld.get_history()

Is there an API doc for us to search all api available to us to use?

Jirapongse

Thank you for sharing.

The document is here and the examples are on GitHub.

You need to know RICs in order to call the get_history method. You can refer to the following articles:
