Hi, is there any way to connect to the API proxy from a Unix session (preferably via eikon package in python)? Thanks

    Hi @COFFIN

    There is no Unix version of the API Proxy
    standalone application and we do not plan to release any. However as the API
    Proxy is now embedded within Thomson Reuters Eikon, a Unix version of the proxy
    will be available if a version of Eikon is released for Unix. This has not been decided yet. If we do release an Eikon version for Unix, it will be for the Ubuntu
    Linux distribution.

    Hi - is there any update on this please? It would be really helpful to be able to run the API from Linux. Can we get the source code at least so we can build a Linux version ourselves?
