There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, im trying to use lseg on Google Colab and I tried both EDP_API and EIKON_API… None worked here:

!pip install lseg.data

import lseg.data as ld

ld.open_session(app_key='edsf….fdss')

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please check the answers on the following discussions.

To use the library with the desktop session, the Workspace application is required to run on the same machine as a Python environment (Google Colab server). I am not sure if is possible to run the Workspace application which is a Windows application on the Colab server machine.

Otherwise, you need to use the platform.ldp session which requires the RDP's username, password, and application key.

   "sessions": {

        "default": "platform.ldp",

        "platform": {

            "ldp": {

                "app-key": "YOUR APP KEY GOES HERE!",

                "username": "YOUR LDP LOGIN OR MACHINE GOES HERE!",

                "password": "YOUR LDP PASSWORD GOES HERE!"

            },

Or the code:

session = ld.session.platform.Definition(

    app_key = APP_KEY, 

    grant = ld.session.platform.GrantPassword(

        username = RDP_LOGIN, 

        password = RDP_PASSWORD

    )

).get_session()

The example is on GitHub.

It didnt work here. I tried both ways:

1)
sessions = { "default": "platform.ldp", "platform": { "ldp": { "app-key": os.environ['REFINITIV_EDP_API'], "username": os.environ['REFINITIV_USER'], "password": os.environ['REFINITIV_PASSWORD'] } }}
ld.open_session(sessions)

For the first method, you need to add it in the configuration file (lseg-data.config.json). Then, set the LD_LIB_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, as shown in the example.

import os

os.environ["LD_LIB_CONFIG_PATH"] = "../../Configuration"

For the second method, the code looks like this:

session = ld.session.platform.Definition(
    app_key = APP_KEY, 
    grant = ld.session.platform.GrantPassword(
        username = RDP_LOGIN, 
        password = RDP_PASSWORD
    ),
    signon_control = True
).get_session()
session.open()
ld.session.set_default(session)
