Platform Session

wasim

I currently use Reuters Eikon and the desktop session to import price data via Python. As I switch to LESG Workspace, can I use the Platform session instead? Is this included a standard in my license?

Hi @wasim ,

You can still use the Desktop session with Workspace license. However, the platform session can be used with a different license, which is the RDP account one (our data platform).

More detail on the upgrade guide can be found in article https://developers.lseg.com/en/article-catalog/article/Upgrade-from-using-Eikon-Data-API-to-the-Data-library

Hello @wasim

The Platform Session uses Data Platform (aka Delivery Platform) which is a different product than Workspace desktop application. It requires its own credential and permission set. You can continues using a Desktop session like my colleague has mentioned.

Thanks Wasin & Raksina. The only thing I am not clear about is how to setup the Platform credentials and if they are available in my current subscription.

Hi @wasim

I strongly suggest you contact your LSEG representative or Account manager to help you with the Data Platform access and permission.
