Raising obo a client: How to set up Refinitiv API for python?
Query:
I'd like to set up the Refinitiv API for python. Can you please guide me?
I have provided the following to the client:
Here are the steps to set up the API connection via Python to pull data in LSEG Workspace:
Step 1. Import the necessary libraries:
import refinitiv.data as rdimport lseg.data as ld
Step 2. Set up the configuration:
config = rd.get_config()config.set_param("logs.transports.console.enabled", True)config.set_param("logs.transports.file.enabled", True)config.set_param("logs.transports.file.name", "user.log")config.set_param("logs.level", "debug")
Step 3. Open a session:
rd.open_session()ld.open_session()
Step 4. Get the data:
result = rd.get_data(['LSEG.L'])result = ld.get_data(['LSEG.L'])
Step 5. Print the result:
print(result)
You may also visit Quick Start | Devportal for the Quickstart Guide for Refinitiv Data Library for Python and the Refinitiv Data Library for Python - Reference Guide .
However, as per client:
Before being able to import the libraries I need to set them up. I try to do it with pip install Refinitiv or conda install Refinitiv but it doesn’t work. How should I proceed?
Can you please advise?
Thank you.
