Hi @Alekya ,

Could you please try to increase the HTTP timeout in the configuration file, or run the code below before opening the session

config = ld.get_config()config.set_param("http.request-timeout", 6000)

@Alekya

It looks like to be a connection issue. You can use the following code to verify the connection.

import requests

url = "https://api.refinitiv.com/auth/oauth2/v1/token"

payload = 'username=<username>&password=<password>&grant_type=password&scope=trapi&takeExclusiveSignOnControl=true&client_id=<appkey>'
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
