Trying to connect Eikon using Eikon API, but get an error

I am trying to connect to Eikon API on my desktop (Eikon Desktop is on the remote desktop).

Here is the error I get:"raise EikonError(-1, 'Port number was not identified. Check if Eikon Desktop or Eikon API Proxy is running.')"

Is there a method to collect data without Eikon Desktop?

Hi @aminhushen

Eikon Data APIs requires Eikon Desktop to be running on the same machine.
