Hello, I'm trying to test the Eikon Data API. I've got a username and a password for a two week access to the Eikon Program. I've gone through the quick start guide for windows. I have the TR Eikon AP running, I've generated a key with the app key generator, i've installed the python eikon libraries and am now trying to run the following code with python 3.7:
import eikon as ek
response = ek.set_app_key('app key from app key generator ')
df = ek.get_timeseries(["BUR.L"], start_date="2018-01-01", end_date="2018-01-10")
The last line fails with the following error message: "Error code 403 | Client Error: Your Eikon account is not allowed to run Eikon API Proxy. - Your Eikon account is not allowed to run Eikon API Proxy."
Have I not got access to the API, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you for any help.
@fa297854-f1b0-4f31-85f2-2f00e0791582 it looks like you are using Eikon Core which does not allow access to the API.
Yes, I am. That makes sense.
I was told Core included the API access. What is the minimum product requirement for the API access?
@fa297854-f1b0-4f31-85f2-2f00e0791582 I do not have the latest info, I asked one of our specialists to contact you. Eikon API was supported in all variants except for Eikon Core and Eikon for Exchanges.
I confirm that access to Eikon Data APIs is included with all variants of Eikon except the two lowest tier variants: Eikon Core and Eikon for Exchange Pricing.
