Eikon API with R - eikonapir - Port Number

Joris.Hoendervangers · January 2018

As the API capabilities have been integrated into the Eikon Toolbar, the port number being used has changed to 9000 (from 36036). Is it possible to change it in the source code? I am not too familiar with R myself, so I don't know where to do this. I am aware this is an unofficial package, but there are clients interested in it. Please note that I raised it as an issue on Github already.

The package is still looking for 36036, so I get the following error:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : Couldn't connect to server<br />

Thanks!!

Thanks Evgeny. I guess I have to rebuild the package as I don't know where to manually change it in my local package/build. Out of curiousity, why is there a letter "L" after the port number? For "listening"?
