Opening LSEG Data library Session without Opening LSEG Desktop Workspace

ryan_choi

Hello,

In my backend, I open a session to connect to LSEG data library API and have the lseg_data.config.json configured so that it uses the LDP platform to open the session. However, when I start my application, I get a "ValueError: Session is not opened. Can't send any request". I have to then open up LSEG Desktop Workspace and then close it to then be able to open my session. How can I fix this issue? Ultimately, I want to be able to open a session without having to open LSEG Desktop Workspace.

In my code, I open my session like this:

ld.open_session(name="platform.ldp", config_name=os.getcwd()+"\controllers\lseg_configurations\lseg_data.config.json")

Hello @ryan_choi

It might be that your LDP credentials are incorrect and the app code might then be using the desktop session elsewhere.

My suggestion is to try the Sessions notebook from LD Library examples to verify your code and configuration first.

Where could I create an account for LDP? I've just been using my LSEG account that I use to also login to Workspace.

LSEG Data Platform is a different product. Workspace credentials cannot be used with it. You will need to speak with your LSEG account manager to signup for it.
