refinitiv.data module (python)

Hi,

I am trying to use refinitiv.data module.

I follow the steps of this page : https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python/blob/main/Examples/2-Content/2.02-Pricing/EX-2.02.03-Pricing-StreamingCache.ipynb

Here is the error I receive when running tgis code :

import os

os.environ["RD_LIB_CONFIG_PATH"] = "./"

import refinitiv.data as rd

from refinitiv.data.content import pricing

from pandas import DataFrame

rd.open_session("platform.rdp")

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/config/configuration.py", line 155, in __getitem__

raise KeyError(item)

KeyError: 'config-change-notifications-enabled'

What is wrong here ?

Many thanks

I assume that you modified the default configuration file (refinitiv-data.config.json) in the RD library package at Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/refinitiv/data/refinitiv-data.config.json. This file should contain the "config-change-notifications-enabled" setting.

If I remove this setting from this default configuration file, I will get the same error.

c:\python37\lib\site-packages\config\configuration_set.py in _from_configs(self, attr, *args, **kwargs)
     59         for config_ in self._configs:
     60             try:
---> 61                 values.append(getattr(config_, attr)(*args, **kwargs))
     62             except Exception as err:
     63                 last_err = err

c:\python37\lib\site-packages\config\configuration.py in __getitem__(self, item)
    153 
    154         if v == {}:
--> 155             raise KeyError(item)
    156         if isinstance(v, dict):
    157             return Configuration(v)

KeyError: 'config-change-notifications-enabled'

In summary, there are two refinitiv-data.config.json files. The default one is in the package directory which contains the default settings, such as "config-change-notifications-enabled". Another one is in the application directory which contains session settings, such as "platform.rdp". You should not modify the default one in the package directory.

Just let me add that I use python version 3.9.

The code has been ran with IDLE.

I may add some more lines in the error report :

Hello @CyrilC,

Can you please ensure/confirm that you have followed the Quick Start guide and all the installation steps defined in it.

CyrilC

Yes I did.

> pip install refinitiv.data

I modified the refinitiv-data.config.json file according to a developer instructions (so it has been tested on his computer)

And it seems the issue comes from the configuration file is not read.

As written on github, and written above, I added the Config environment path to tell where my new config file is located (next to my python script):

os.environ["RD_LIB_CONFIG_PATH"] = "./"

None worked

Gurpreet

It looks like there might be an error in your configuration file. Can you download the sample configuration file from here. If you are using RDP then fill in the appkey, username and password section and try again.

This sessions jupyter notebook is also helpful in testing out the credentials and configuration issues. You can hardcode the appkey/username/password in the cell and see if the session creation works for you. Cell# 17 creates an RDP session.

Hi @CyrilC

Can you try the following:

Ensure you have your config file (refinitiv-data.config.json) in your current working directory - same directory where you are running your code
The config file should look like this (with the proper credentials defined)
Create a small example with the following Python code

If there is success, you will see output similar to the above screenshot. Note: because I placed the config file within the current working directory, there is no need to explicitly define the environment variable - the library will automatically find the config file.

CyrilC

Hi,

I tried that at the beginning. It did not work.

Then, I have been told to set the os.Environ path (which I did as you can read above). It did not work either.

I just received an email explaining it is a well known issue with IDLE that seems to hide a lib dependency (configuration). See jira / browse / EAPI-4369

So, quite obvious it can't work without a possibility to configure.

Yet, this does not sort out the issue : how can I force IDLE (or anything) to import the library ?

If I remove this setting from this default configuration file, I will get the same error.

Thank you so much Jirapongse.

It sorted it out and makes the code run !
