Eikon API issue

Hello,


I am trying to connect to the Eikon API, see below the snippet code which I took from the quickstart guide:


import eikon as ek

ek.set_log_level(1)

ek.set_app_key('01b52a73XXXXXXX')

df = ek.get_timeseries(["TRAPI2Mc1"],start_date="2016-01-01",end_date="2016-01-10")

data, err = ek.get_data(["IBM", "GOOG.O", "MSFT.O"], ["TR.PriceClose", "TR.Volume", "TR.PriceLow"])


I get the following response:


INFO:pyeikon:Send GET request to http://127.0.0.1:9060/api/status to detect API Proxy...

DEBUG:pyeikon:Request to http://127.0.0.1:9060/api/status

headers = {'x-tr-applicationid': '01b52a73XXXXXXX '}

params = None

Level 1:pyeikon:HTTP request response 404: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Not Found</TITLE>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD>

<BODY><h2>Not Found</h2>

<hr><p>HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.</p>

</BODY></HTML>


I have already deprecated eikon to 1.1.8 and httpx to 0.14.2 (via pip) and checked the antivirus

Hi @ludomir.garreau01 ,

eikon python lib is sending request only to locahost (to Eikon API Proxy which is listening all requests to http://127.0.0.1:9060/api).

There is at lest 2 ways to allow request to localhost:

  1. update your corporate proxy to allow requests to localhost
  2. switch your corporate proxy for requests to localhost : set NO_PROXY=localhost:9000,localhost:9060 in environment variables.

To verify if it's fixed, you can run his command:

python -c "import httpx; print(httpx.get('http://localhost:9060/api/status'))"

I would like to add to the above question: I am behind a corporate proxy, please could you advise how I can incorporate the proxy variables into the script?

Thank you
