Hi @navtej.riyait ,

As RDP Python libraries have been redesigned and renamed to Refinitiv Data Libraries (RD libraries). Alpha versions of former RDP libraries will be maintained for a while, but for new development, it is recommended to use the latest RD libraries which incorporate new features and offer greater usability. Please refer to the following pages for more about the new RD libraries: RD library for Python, RD Library for TypeScript, RD Library for .NET.

The list can be used in the universe parameter

import refinitiv.data as rd
from refinitiv.data.content import historical_pricing

rd.open_session()

response = historical_pricing.summaries.Definition(
    ['CHF=','JPY='], 
    interval=Intervals.FIVE_MINUTES
).get_data()
response.data.df

You can also check more detail on the function and its available parameters with the Python helper function

help(historical_pricing.summaries.Definition)

Hope this helps and please let me know in case you have any further questions.

Thanks Raksina.

I am trying to install the refinitiv.data library but am getting an error as shown below

I have resolved the install issue.

Now I am testing the following code

import refinitiv.data as rd
from refinitiv.data.content import historical_pricing

rd.open_session(config_name='credentials.json')
response = historical_pricing.summaries.Definition(
['CHF=','JPY='],
interval=Intervals.FIVE_MINUTES
).get_data()
response.data.df

Get the following error:

An error occurred while requesting URL('http://localhost:9060/api/status').

Check if Desktop is running.

Hi @navtej.riyait ,

According to the error message, the API was unable to connect to the Eikon or Workspace API proxy running on the local machine. The RD library with the desktop session retrieves data through the Eikon or Workspace API proxy running on the same machine.

First, you need to make sure that the API proxy is running properly on the machine. Please refer to the Eikon Data API(Python) Troubleshooting article.
