Eikon Data API Error: no proxy address identified.
Hi All, I am trying to connect to Eikon Data from Jupyter notebook on my local disk. I've generated the key successfully, however when I try to set_app_key, it throws the error as given below:
2020-09-24 17:06:31,343 P[3832] [MainThread 16040] Error: no proxy address identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running. 2020-09-24 17:06:31,347 P[3832] [MainThread 16040] Port number was not identified, cannot send any request 2020-09-24 17:06:31,347 P[3832] [MainThread 16040] Port number was not identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.
Although, if I use the same key in the Codebook in the Desktop App, it works fine. FYI, the Desktop App is kept running during the whole time
Pls help, thanks.
Hi @akshay.kaushal Please could you say what version of Eikon, the Eikon library (see code below) and what version of Python you are using.
import eikon as ek ek.__version__
We have a troubleshooting guide here which you can go through.
We recently noticed a breaking change on one of the eikon library dependencies httpx - which we are recommending clients downgrade to 0.14.2 as a workaround (pip install httpx==0.14.2) until we can get a new fix released.
The codebook app runs a remotely hosted python installation and build which we maintain. Your local instance will be different from our build.
I hope this can help.
Hi,
With last version - eikon 1.1.6+ - a defect appeared last Tuesday and is caused by the dependency httpx 0.15.x
We're releasing a fix but inthe meantime, a workaround is to downgrade to httpx 0.14.2
(pip install httpx==1.14.2)
Hello Jason and Pierre, thank you so much for the quick response. I was able to make it work by downgrading the httpx module to 0.14.2 and using Eikon 1.1.6 version with Python 3.6. It works flawlessly now.
