How to authorize an account?

Hi, please help to point out a method to get the authorization for an API.

Every time it asks me to insert username, password and appid, but I have tried my account to login in developer community. But it keeps showing error! I have exploring by myself for a while, unfortunately, none of any guideline or instruction to answer this basic start question!

please help, thanks a lot.

Hi,

The Developer Community is free and anyone can create an account. The login/password is not the same than for to Eikon products.

Did you follow this Quick Start ?

If you want to use this Scripting API, you need to login through the Eikon API Proxy with an available Eikon login/pwd.
