R compatibility with eikon api
Best Answer
-
To use Eikon Data API (eikonapir), you need to have Eikon running on the machine.
Eikon Data API retrieves data through Eikon running on the same machine. As I know, Eikon doesn't support Unix operating systems. It supports Windows and macOS.
You may consider using other APIs, such as Datastream Web Service or Refinitiv Data Platform APIs.

Thank you @Jirapongse
Your answer seems to confirm what I had thought and was afraid of.
Do you know if either of the other APIs you reference support connecting from a Unix OS? I heard/read that one can connect from Python running on my Unix box, but I am not sure if that is correct either or does one again need to have Eikon running on the same machine.

Hello @christof.stahel
The Datastream Webservice and Refinitiv Data Platform APIs (RDP APIs) that are mentioned by @Jirapongse are web-based APIs that you can use Python to connect and get data from them.
