Eikon API Proxy requires authentication.
Hello, could you please help me to bypass the following error?
EikonError: Error code 401 | Client Error: Unauthorized - Eikon API Proxy requires authentication.
Output:

@dmitry.sarin could you share the code that you are trying to execute and describe your set up please (Eikon/Eikon Proxy on MacOS/Windows)?
It's Eikon/Windows
I just got the API key and tried the set example provided in the intro section
import eikon as ek
ek.set_app_key('***') ek.get_news_headlines('R:LHAG.DE', date_from='2017-04-05T09:00:00', date_to='2017-04-05T18:00:00')
@dmitry.sarin could you please restart your Eikon and try again? I had a look at your key, it works fine.
@Zhenya Kovalyov I am getting the same error, even after restarting Eikon. Tried with a new App key, still error. It was working fine a couple of days ago. The code I run (on windows) is:
import eikon as ek ek.set_app_key(my app key) df = ek.get_timeseries(["MSFT.O"],start_date="2016-01-01", end_date="2016-01-10")
I get
Error code 401 | Client Error: Eikon API Proxy requires authentication
@dmitry.sarin Eikon seemed to have lost the session with the platform, and a simple restart will fix this.
If this continues happening, let us know.
Is there anyway to refresh the session in order to avoid restartng the PC or EIKON?
No, there isn't. See this thread for the explanation of the mechanism of the issue.
