News via python (error message)

Dear Experts,

My purpose is to download news about a bunch of company's tickers via python (or R).

I've never used python (in eikon) before. So, I'm a novice.

I've generated the app key that I can read in my screen.


However, using python (or R) I received this error (I replaced the key with some XXX):

[MainThread 140139205887808] Error code 403 | Client Error: {"ErrorCode":1401,"ErrorMessage":"Application id cc81d890XXXXXX is invalid"}


I contacted the eikon support. They told me to post the error message here.

Could you please help me? I really appreciate.

Thanks in advance. Best

Hi @barbara.petracci

Could you let me know what is the app name you registered?

I can find 1 app key from your organization. (I will add a private comment for the app key detail)

I tested it and it works fine.
