Hi @ksuresh2k

You must have "Eikon Desktop" installed and running on the machine.

You cannot use Eikon Data APIs with Eikon Web Access.

Hi @ksuresh2k

I just tested your app id and it works fine on my Eikon account.

From this error:

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\eikon\json_requests.py", line 85, in send_json_request timeout=60)

Do you have any firewall to block the connection ?

I used Fiddler4 to check the connection from my Eikon Desktop to service endpoint.

And verify that it is successful.

Thanks @chavalit.jintamalit. It is still not working for me.

I followed the below steps while running the python api.

1. Logged into Web access of Eikon app in https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/login.html using the user id: kellen@aflatworld.com

Please see the screen shot below.

2. Ran my test program as per below screen shot and I am getting the error.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I double checked to make sure there is no firewall blocking either. Telnet to port 443 to the api endpoint as per your fiddler end point works fine for me. When I run fiddler and test my python code, I cannot see any traffic going in/out.

Is this something to do with my Eikon account?

Also, you mentioned that you used your Eikon account/desktop. Should I have to run any application before accessing this api?

Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks @chavalit.jintamalit for pointing out the issue.

I have 2 requirements and I am not sure which API is the best suited for that purpose.

1. The program should run on the server to call Eikon Apis to fetch data about companies.

2. Need to fetch ESG (environmental, social and governance) data for different companies.

Could you please advise the right API that I could use to do the above?

Thanks very much!

Hi @ksuresh2k

1. Eikon is an information service that is licensed for individual use, and Eikon users may not run any instances of Eikon on a server.

2. I think you can use Elektron Data Platform(EDP) to retrieve ESG data.

Please see more information on this page.

Here is some sample output from EDP.

And the response is in JSON format (I removed some information and replaced them with xxx).
