Python API Cannot Post 404 Error

When running the same code I have been using for quite some time to fetch data with the python eikon api, I am now receiving a 404 on all requests. I have verified that Eikon is listening on port 9000

netstat -anb output:

[EikonBox.exe]
TCP 127.0.0.1:9000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

however any attempt to post to http://localhost:9000/api/v1/data generates the error in the screenshot.

Can anyone advise?

@Nipat Kunvutipongsak My issue wasn't resolved, however thanks to the suggestion by @pierre.faurel I am able to work around it by using the API Proxy. This is sufficient for me!

Thanks all for your help.

Try updating to the 0.1.12 of eikon.py and let us know if it helps.

Hi @Zhenya Kovalyov, Thank you for your response.

I am currently updated to the latest version, but still experiencing the same issue.

Can you set Trace Level of Thomson Reuters Desktop to Debug via Thomson Reuters - Configuration Manager?

Then, kill and restart all Eikon processes.

After that, please share your SxS log (SxS.<datetime>.<pid>.txt) which is in Eikon Logs path (

C:\ProgramData\Thomson Reuters\Eikon Data\Logs\TRD\Eikon.<datetime>.<pid>).

If it starts properly, you should see:

[2018-02-27 03:30:40.423|prod]  (sxs-proxy) SxS Proxy init OK
[2018-02-27 03:30:40.425|prod]  (app) Start server...
[2018-02-27 03:30:40.443|dev]  (app) onStarted: 9000

Thank you for the reply! The file output is attached. I don't see the line "Write port file" or "SxS Proxy init ok".

Thank you very much for your time and help on this! Let me know what else I can do to help you all out.

I need to setup an Eikon 4.0.42 with your SxS version (1.1.0.13) because workflow changed with 4.0.43 + SxS 1.1.0.18.
I think that's why you don't have the "Write port file" in your log.

In the meantime, could you try a Python request with debug level set to True and post the trace console ?

ex: eikon.get_timeseries('MSFT.O', debug= True)

Thanks for your help @pierre.faurel!

Attached is a screenshot (as I can't copy out of the windows shell) of the output from a basic call to the API.

However, I've found the R traceback to be more info, mirroring the result I get when querying port 9000 with postman (first screenshot on the thread). It is basically the same result but shows the full HTML response.

I'll note that before this error started, I usually saw output after setting my app ID ("port 9000 in use" or something similar)

Let me know what else I can do. Should my versions be different?

From the log file, your account may not have a permission to use API proxy.

[2018-02-27 06:45:58.191|show] (app) PO: SIDEBYSIDE

The log shows only SIDEBYSIDE.

TCP Port 9000 is used by both Side By Side and API proxy.

If your account has a permission to use API proxy, the log will have both SIDEBYSIDE and APIPROXY, as shown below.

[2018-01-10 13:44:36.155|show] (app) PO: SIDEBYSIDE,APIPROXY

Please contact your account team or local sales team to verify your account's permission.

Hi @Jirapongse, thank you for your reply!

I do not think this is the case, as I have used the API successfully for several weeks. This issue appeared on Sunday for the first time. In addition, I tried my account credentials on the Mac Eikon API Proxy on a Mac laptop. I was able to log in and query results successfully.

For the sake of due diligence, I will contact my sales rep. What should I ask? That I have permissions to access the API Proxy on the Windows Eikon Data Platform?

Thank you for your help, let me know if I can provide you with more info!

Hi @craha,

Where can I get the latest available Windows Eikon Api Proxy before if was taken off the website?

If someone can get me a copy, if would be appreciated.

Kind regards
