Hi @d.ang,

You need to run Eikon to using the Data API as stated in the Quick Start Guide.

"The Eikon application integrates an API proxy that acts as an interface between the Eikon Data APIs Python library and the Eikon Platform. For this reason, the Eikon application must be running when you use the Eikon Data APIs Python library. When launched, the Eikon application starts listening for local websocket connections on port 9000 or the next available port if port 9000 is already occupied. You need to have a valid Eikon user account to be able to launch the Eikon application."

Can you confirm if you have Eikon Desktop running? You can follow the steps mentioned at Eikon Data API(Python) Troubleshooting

Also can you share the version of httpx, nest-asyncio and Eikon Api installed on your system?
