@Manish.Mukherjee So I don't know about power automate in detail but it seems to be a no/lo code environment. Generally this type of software would rely upon connectors with a GUI type interface - similar to say the Excel Formula Builder in Eikon to get data into some kind of automated workflow. I don't think such a connector would exist for power automate. Our APIs. are designed to be used with programmatic workflows in coded environments. That said, one of our colleagues did some work with a Microsoft PowerBI integration (PowerBI is provided as a connector to power automate so that. might be a way to investigate). I am attaching the demo here and some instructions:
Perpetuities
- Follow the instructions on this page to install Python.
- Follow the instructions on Quick Start Guide
- Install Eikon Data APIs and dependency libraries by running the following command in <Python installed path>/Scripts folder (i.e. C:\Users\u8015664\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts)
- Pip install eikon
- Pip install pandas
- Generate Eikon AppKey.
- Install Eikon Data APIs and dependency libraries by running the following command in <Python installed path>/Scripts folder (i.e. C:\Users\u8015664\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts)
To run the demo
- Extract the attached file and open it with PowerBI Desktop
- Edit AppKey parameter.
- Data will be refreshed with “Refresh” menu.
Demo File
Note: I think for someone looking for a lo/no code workflow this will already be too complicated. One other important point to consider is that Data from Eikon can only stay on the desktop - it cannot go into another platform or cloud environment due to licensing issues. We have feed solutions that come with such licenses such as DataScope Select etc.
Anyways I hope this can help.
