Python Eikon API

Hi.

I have Eikon application version 4.0.42 installed on my computer. I followed the instruction about how to use Eikon API but received following error;

Warning: file .portInUse was not found. Is Eikon Scripting Proxy running?
Defaulting to port 36036

"EikonError: 'Error code 401 | Eikon Proxy not installed or not running. Please read the documentation to know how to install and run the proxy. '"

I tried to download the Eikon Proxy but the installation package can't be opened. I tried to open it in three different PC but all had the same result.

The following is my script:

import eikon as ek
ek.set_app_id('XXX')

ek.get_news_headlines('R:LHAG.DE', date_from='2017-04-05T09:00:00', date_to='2017-04-05T18:00:00')

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

Hi @gillian.thompson,

We will deliver a new version of the Python library (0.1.11) that should solve your issue. It should be available next week. Stay tuned.

Hello Alex. Thanks for sharing your comments and it did help. But I still can't get my Python script run. It shows the following message at the beginning "Warning: file .portInUse was not found. Is Eikon Scripting Proxy running?". And I can't filed named ".portInUse" and the folder named "Eikon API Proxy" either. Should I reinstall the Eikon?

hello,

data, error=ek.get_data('EUR=', ['TR.ASKPRICE.Date', 'TR.ASKPRICE','TR.BIDPRICE'], parameters={'SDate':'2018-06-20', 'EDate':'2018-06-22'})

How to specify the Hour/min/sec on the SDate in order to retreive the BID/ASK of EUR at a specific time (secondes).

Thank you,
