Hi @mobouchard ,

I've checked your Eikon variant and found that it's Eikon - Exchange Pricing,This Eikon tier does not include Eikon Data API (Python) feature.

Please contact your account manager to discuss the product tier.

@mobouchard what version of the library are you using? - I suggest you download the latest RD library package:

pip install refinitiv-data

also please downgrade httpx package to say 19.x - not sure which version of python you are running (maybe you have a brand new install with a much more current version).


then in a notebook:

import refinitiv.data.eikon as ek
ek.set_app_key('YOUR API KEY HERE')
df,err = ek.get_data('VOD.L',['TR.CommonName'])
df

Pls see if this works.
