Can I use Eikon API in Colab.research.google.com?
import eikon as ek
ek.set_app_key('826xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

Hi @thseol
To use the Eikon Data API you have to have a locally running instance of Eikon or Refinitiv Workspace - i..e on the same PC as where you are executing any EDAPI script.
Hi @umer.nalla ,
I am currently having a similar issue. I am trying to run a Python notebook that connects to Eikon API and collects data on news stories. The connection is successful when the code is run on other IDEs such as JupyterLab and Azure Data Studio, but it seems the same doesn't happen when using Google Colab. I have a running Refinitiv Workspace every time I run the code, but the issue remains.

Is there something that I am missing please?
When posting on the Forum it is recommended that you post a new Query when the subject matter has changed somewhat from the original.
This will make it more likely your query will be noticed by all our forum moderators and responded to in a more timely manner. It also helps other developers with similar issues to yourself.
In terms of your question, my understanding is that Google Colab is a cloud computing-based service - therefore the code is not executing locally on your PC - rather it is executing on a Google server somewhere.
I have not tried Azure Data Studio - but certainly, Jupyterlab notebooks normally execute locally.
Hello @thseol
Please see Eikon Data API(Python) Troubleshooting | Refinitiv which explains how to solve this problem thoroughly.
