Hi, could I check if there is anyone who has experience using, or knows how to use the Eikon API with the asyncio package for Python?

Eikon Data API doesn't provide async interfaces. However, you can run it in an executor. For example:
import eikon as ek import asyncio def set_app_key(app_key): ek.set_app_key(app_key) def get_data(instruments, fields, condition=None): df, err = ek.get_data(instruments,fields,condition) return df def get_timeseries(instruments, fields, start_date, end_date, interval="daily"): df = ek.get_timeseries(instruments, fields, start_date, end_date, interval) return df async def main(): loop = asyncio.get_running_loop(); await loop.run_in_executor(None, set_app_key,"<App key>") df = await loop.run_in_executor(None, get_data, ["IBM"],["TR.PriceClose"]) print(df) df = await loop.run_in_executor(None, get_timeseries, ["PTT.BK"],"*","2022-01-01","2022-01-31") print(df) asyncio.run(main())

Hi @wesley.ng
You can find an async example using the Refinitiv Data Library for Python here: Example.DataLibrary.Python/EX-2.01.02-HistoricalPricing-ParallelRequests.ipynb at main · Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.DataLibrary.Python · GitHub
