Possibility of directly integrating to the LSEG Data Platform without Workspace

KatherineMae.Malagueno

Just wanted to inquire about the possibility of directly integrating to the LSEG Data Platform without using the desktop Workspace. Could you please confirm if there's a way to directly access the LSEG Data Platform? Any subscription needed? Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Yes, it requires the LSEG Data Platform credentials in order to access the services on the Data Platform.

You can try to access the API Docs and there are several examples on the LSEG Developer Portal. Moreover, the LSEG Data Libraies (Python, .NET, and TypeScript) can also be used to access data on the Data Platform.

If this is a question from clients, the clients need to contact their LSEG account team or Sales team for more information.

Hello @KatherineMae.Malagueno

Once you got the Delivery Platform (aka Data Platform, RDP) credential with a permission, you can change a library configuration on a lseg-data.config.json file to use the platform via a following setting

{

    "logs": {

       ...

    },

    "sessions": {

        "default": "platform.ldp",

        "platform": {

            "ldp": {

                "app-key": "app-key",

                "username": "machine-id",

                "password": "password",

                "signon_control":true

            },

            "ldpv2":{

                "client_id": "V2 client-id",

                "client_secret": "V2 client secret,

                "signon_control":true,

                "app-key": ""

            }

        }

    }

}

Then you can change a "default" node to "platform.ldp" or "platform.ldpv2" based on type of your account.
