I'm following an example from the https://developers.thomsonreuters.com/eikon-apis/eikon-data-api/quick-start section, using the following code:

import eikon as ek
ek.set_app_key("XXX")
result = ek.get_timeseries(["MSFT.O"],  start_date="2019-01-01", end_date="2019-01-31")

Hi,

Please let us know if you have any update on this question.

If it is still an issue, please post again to offer further insight into your question.

As mentioned by Zhenya, you need to run Eikon on the same machine that uses Eikon Data APIs.

Regards,

AHS
