ERROR:pyeikon:Error code 404 | Client Error: Not Found -

Hello,
I get the following error (see below with the code) when retrieving market data. My Eikon API with python has been working for months and only started failing yesterday. I contacted my account manager, nothing changed over the week-end on my account.. My Eikon app and Eikon add-in for Excel still work normally.

Simple code:

import eikon as ek

ek.set_app_key(xxxxxxxx)

spots = ek.get_data("EUR=", 'CF_LAST')

I get:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EikonError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-c8728b099fbf> in <module>
      1 import eikon as ek
      2 ek.set_app_key(eikonKey)
----> 3 spots = ek.get_data("EUR=", 'CF_LAST')

    178     if parameters: payload.update({'parameters': parameters})
--> 179     result = eikon.json_requests.send_json_request(DataGrid_UDF_endpoint, payload, debug=debug)

     99             else:

Thanks for your help. Restarting my machine fixed the problem - but I can only do that overnight.

I hope this won't happen too often.

Hi @gabriel.manceau - sorry to hear about your issue - this error usually presents intermittently - so usually you can code around this defensively. I will try to investigate this from our side but I need some further details - do you know roughly what time this happened?

Hi @gabriel.manceau

Can you try to restart your machine and Eikon Desktop and try again?

If it does not work, please follow this troubleshooting.

Please check if you have path = /api or not.
