I want to get more detailed information on port 80/443 using API to download data. I would like to know what are each port used for.
@yilin.x.chen I suggest you raise this with your local Thomson Reuters Support and with your bank's technical account manager, as it seems like using Eikon in a VM hosted environment for the desktop API breaks the end user licence.
could you provide a little context to your question please? i.e. which ports are you talking about, which environment, which tools and what you are looking to achieve?
@yilin.x.chen
These are standard HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) ports used in variety of web technologies. Can you please elaborate which API you are using and where you see it.
The current Eikon Data API's (Python/R) use a random internal port number and do not use either of those.
I am currently using a self-built C# Eikon Data Download API in a VM environment. I want to download massive data from Eikon through an SSIS package
I am using a self-built C# API in a VM environment to download a lot of data. And right now the issue is that the API only sent traffic to port 443 not port 80.
Which underlying Thomson Reuters API does your self-built api use?
i think it uses EikonDesktopDataAPI reference and DEX2 reference
ok, since your application uses COM APIs, which are non-web based, what do you mean, when you asking about 80/443 ports? As in, the underlying API for DEX2 uses 80/443 for data delivery?
so according to the person who helped me setting up the Cloud VM, he mentioned that in order for eikon to connect outside source, the API needs port 80/443 to send request and receive the request. Right now, we can see that the API only send traffic to port 443, no traffic is sent to port 80. I really have no clue what's going on, I am not sure if there is anything wrong with the application or port or firewall.
