API Error Python : Port number was not identified, cannot send any request

Hello, i am trying to set up the API eikon on Python (i am using Jupyter) but after looking all similar threads in this forum, it is impossible to find a solution. I have already my key, my desktop app is running and still, when i try to set the key on Python, it returns me an error :

2022-08-18 13:12:27,643 P[1477] [MainThread 140560821065536] Error: no proxy address identified.
Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.

Hi @constansa ,

We need more information to understand the root cause.
You can investigate in following directions:

Did you check steps in Eikon Data API(Python) Troubleshooting ?
As no Eikon proxy address was identified by Python script, it could come from Eikon API Proxy.
You can activate debug logs in Eikon (with Configuration Manager) and check in <logs folder>\TRD\Eikon.yymmdd.hhmmss.pid\APIProxy.yyyymmdd.hhmmss.pid.txt log file.

Hi @pf,

Thank you very much for your anwser !

1 - Yes i have already checked this and done the steps. There is a first problem here. At step 4, in the SxS file, i don't have this lot of text as in the screenshot. I just have something like this :

start node

Arg: c:\Program Files (x86)\Thomson Reuters\Eikon\Z\Bin\Eikonbox.exe C:\Users\alcaraz\AppData\Local\Thomson Reuters\Eikon User\Cache\LibraryCache\Apps\THOMSONREUTERS.EIKON.DESKTOPSXSSVC\1.1.0.100\index.js -TraceLevel=-1

So i can't check APIPROXY created and the port number. I checked in other txt files and i can't find them. Maybe it doesnt create the right text file, hence, it cant find the proxy ?

2 - In this txt file same problem :

start node

Arg: c:\Program Files (x86)\Thomson Reuters\Eikon\Z\Bin\Eikonbox.exe C:\Users\alcaraz\AppData\Local\Thomson Reuters\Eikon User\Cache\LibraryCache\Apps\REFINITIVHOLDINGS.EIKON.DATAAPIPROXY\1.5.2.4\index.js -TraceLevel=-1

I can't find the logs .. i think it comes from that .. but i have no knowledge enough to understand how to fix it ..

Thank you for your time

In my log file, the TraceLevel is 4.

Arg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Thomson Reuters\Eikon\Z\Bin\Eikonbox.exe C:\Users\U8009686\AppData\Local\Thomson Reuters\Eikon User\Cache\LibraryCache\Apps\THOMSONREUTERS.EIKON.DESKTOPSXSSVC\1.1.0.101\index.js -TraceLevel=4

Please make sure that the TraceLevel is 4 in Refinitiv Eikon - Configuration Manager. After configuring, you need to restart all Eikon processes.
