HTTP request failed: Invalid port: 'None'

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently migrated to Workspace from Eikon and am working to migrate our existing python-coded back office programs to a new laptop that is set up with Workspace.

When trying to connect using an ek_get_data query in a python program run out of a linux shell (WSL) I received an error that says:

HTTP request failed: Invalid port: 'None'.

If I run the same program run through a Jupyter notebook in Chrome in the windows environment ... it runs successfully with no error.

Workspace was logged in and the API Key is valid.

Is there an adjustment needed to the proxies or our end or by LSEG?

Thank you for reaching to us.

The API is designed to run on a native Windows machine with a running Workspace.

It doesn't work on the Linux environment.

Eikon API queries work on my old machine with a Workspace + WSL set up.

WSL is a pseudo Linux environment built on top of Windows. From what I understand it's not really Linux.

The issue is likely with our WSL set up and proxy settings on the new laptop. We will investigate and see if we can get things working (again).
