Hi, how do I make use of the Eikon API via Python without running an instance of the Eikon Desktop application?
Hello @wesley.ng
The Eikon Data API needs the Eikon/Workspace Desktop application as the API proxy interface between the API and the Eikon Platform. For this reason, the Eikon/Workspace application must be running when you use the Eikon Data API Python library.
Alternatively, the Eikon and Workspace applications have a web version that can run the cloud-hosted JupyterLab app named "CodeBook". It means you can open the Eikon/Workspace web access on your browser, then run the CodeBook app in the same browser to use the Eikon Data API and access Eikon content.
You can find more detail on the Use Eikon Data API or RDP Library in Python in CodeBook on Web Browser article.
