Hi I'd like to know the difference between these libraries:
https://pypi.org/project/refinitiv-data/
https://pypi.org/project/refinitiv-dataplatform/
Is refinitiv-data a library that includes all the features of dataplatform? I'm also having trouble creating a session with refinitiv-data.
Thanks,
Hi @cmarks
refinitiv-data is the replacement for refinitiv-data-platform
refinitiv-data-platform was an alpha release and refinitiv-data is a beta release.
We will be publishing tutorials and examples soon for refinitiv-data
The RD Library product owner will also be issuing a statement in the near future explaining the differences in terms of positioning, support etc
Ok that's great. I'd like to begin using refinitiv-data if possible, it has a simple async function for data in fundamental_and_reference.Definition. I'm still having trouble connecting. This is my attempt to open a desktop session, but any endpoint would do.
import refinitiv.data as rd import refinitiv.data.session as sess sess.desktop.Definition(app_key='your_app_key').get_session() rd.open_session(app_key='your_app_key')
An error occurred while requesting URL('http://127.0.0.1:9060/api/status').

Hi @cmarks
Assuming you have Eikon or Workspace running, the following works fine for me with the latest beta release - refinitiv-data · PyPI v1.0.0b4
import refinitiv.data as rd from refinitiv.data import session APP_KEY = '<my app key>' rd.open_session(app_key = APP_KEY)
# outputs
<refinitiv.data.session._desktop_session.Definition object at 0x278feee7 {name='default-session'}>
Is that what you are after?
My Eikon is running and my app key is enabled. I was using an older version, just updated but its still not working. This is the session object I get
<refinitiv.data.session._desktop_session.Definition object at 0x23a52f3d430 {name='default'}>
And it says there was a response on port 9000, then it chooses a non working port?

I get this error when trying to query data:
res=fr.Definition(['AAPL.O'],['TR.CompanyName']).get_data() print(res.data.raw)

Figured it out, my desktop app didn't have APIPROXY service running. Platform sessions work fine.
Hi @cmarks
FYI - we have pushed the first beta release of tutorials and examples to GitHub - Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python: Example projects and Tutorials demonstrating access to the Refinitiv Data Platform using the Refinitiv Data Library for Python (github.com)
They have been tested with refinitiv-data · PyPI v1.0.0b6
NOTE: The links on the README pages for the Dev Portal tutorials/Quick Start etc won't work as we have not published those yet - hopefully be there next week or in the New Year....
