I am connecting to DatastreamDSWS2R via a http_proxy to get past our company firewall (proxy defined in .Renviron file) and am getting the following error:
Error in rjson::fromJSON(myTokenResponse) : unexpected character '<'
Can somebody help me make sense of this mistake?
I have sofar never been able to connect to DatastreamDSWS2R via R
@laurent.marmy, can you please post the request you are making that generates this error, after removing your credentials to avoid compromising them. That will help us investigate.
@laurent.marmy, this looks like a pure R language related query, and I am not at all familiar with R. That said, just by looking at the R documentation, that syntax does not look right to me.
@laurent.marmy - This is a private post
Considering your query, we moved it from the Eikon Data API to the Datastream forum, it seems more appropriate, and will help people discover it. AHS

Same problem here. Could you solve the problem @laurent.marmy ? Which helpdesk should I contact, @James.Bright1 ?
Hi @Marvin, I finally managed to solved the problem by getting a proxy port from my company and defining this and my Datastream username and password in a .Renviron file like this:
http_proxy= XXX.XXX.com:9999
http_proxy_user=UNAME:PASSWORD DatastreamUsername=DATASTREAMUSERNAME DatastreamPassword=DATASTREAMPASSWORD
options(Datastream.Username = "DATASTREAMUSERNAME") options(Datastream.Password = "DATASTREAMPASSWORD")
