Is there a way to stay connected on both Eikon Desktop App and Eikon API proxy at the same time? It seems that when you log in to one of them the other logs out
Not at the moment. However in a couple of weeks Eikon 4.0.42 will be released to all users globally. This and any subsequent versions of Eikon will have API proxy embedded in Eikon application. You will not need to run separate API Proxy application to be able to use Eikon Data APIs. Eikon application will be acting as API proxy listening on port 9000, so as long as Eikon application is running you will be able to execute your Python scripts just as you do today only without separate Eikon API Proxy application.
Hi Alex, I have 4.0.42 installed, how do I go about enabling the proxy functionality on it?
You don't need to enable anything. Just launch Eikon and then run your Python script. Eikon application will act as the API Proxy.
Got the same problem, Eikon did not create the .portInUse file. Created manually the file with "9000" as content and now it works.
How did you create the file? i too have the same problem
