raise EikonError(-1, 'Port number was not identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.')

Hello,

Could you please help with the following error codes?

I use a PC and Eikon Desktop, logged in and running, however python scrips spit an error.

It started after I downloaded and used API Proxy for Mac on the weekend.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall requests

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall idna

Didn't help.

raise EikonError(-1, 'Port number was not identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.') NameError: name 'EikonError' is not defined

Kind regards,

Hi @dmitry.sarin

Please identify if the Eikon Desktop is running properly and is listening on 9000 port on your PC.

Please try to restart your PC and Eikon Desktop and try any simple API calls again.

Please note that when you log in to Eikon API Proxy on Mac with the same Eikon account, it will log out your Eikon Desktop on PC.

Here is the error when I tried to make API call but my Eikon Desktop is not running.

You can use currports freeware to check if Eikon is listening on port 9000/TCP on your PC.

Hi @chavalit.jintamalit, thank you. The desktop was running (data via excel add-in was coming in) but I was still getting the error.

PC restart solved the issue, thanks!

Hi,

I am using Windows10 and restarting didn't help. Any suggestions?

In particular, Port 9000 doesn't appear after running currports. So I guess Eikon is not listening to port 9000/TCP on my PC. What could I do next?
