Coonect Eikon to Pycharm to retrieve data - error

tanja.baccega

Hi,

I followed all the guidelines I found to use Eikon API in order to connect my pycharm code and retrieve data from Eikon directly into the project. Unfortunately I always get an error: 2020-09-11 15:08:55,935 P[19012] [MainThread 9372] Error: no proxy address identified.
Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.

eikon.eikonError.EikonError: Error code -1 | Port number was not identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.

I am using the code found in the example here:https://developers.refinitiv.com/eikon-apis/eikon-data-api/quick-start?content=43411&type=quick_start

and obviously I created the App key.

Does somebody have

Hi @tanja.baccega

Please see this question and check Pycharm and Eikon Data API version.

Hi,

A new 1.1.6 version was released to fix HTTP connection issues with Python 3.8

As you set up your environment recently, I assume that your miniconda3_64 contains this version.

you can update eikon with "pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir eikon" command line
