Hi Pierre! Good news. It worked! The issue was indeed because of nest-asyncio 1.4.1

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Could you provide following information ?

1. eikon lib and Eikon Desktop version
2. involved eikon functions (it seems to be streaming API)
3. is issue always reproduced or time to time ?

Hi,

1. Desktop 4.0.52055. What is Eikon lib? maybe the API key can help you investigate, do you need it? is it safe to post it here?

2. yes I import eikon in python as ek, then ek.get_news_story, ek.set_app_key(, ek.get_news_headlines

3. The issue is always reproducible.

Hi Refinitiv support team,

The issue is still present today. Have you had a chance to look into the problem?

Rgds,

Hi,

To avoid any confusion with previous issues, I assume you're up-to-date with eikon version (1.1.6.post3)

The 500 error comes from the platform and we need more information to identify the root cause.
Could you give examples of get_news_headlines() and get_news_story() usages ?

No actually my version is 1.0.0! So I will update it first and keep you posted. Thanks Pierre.

So I updated my eikon package to version 1.1.6.post3.

Then it worked for a moment and now it's back to error 500. But there is a new message now:

2020-09-29 16:45:35,369 P[6300] [MainThread 9780] Error on handshake port 9060 : TimeoutException("TimeoutException on HTTP request: ReadTimeout('',)",)

2020-09-29 16:45:56,378 P[6300] [MainThread 9780] Error code 500 | Server Error: {"code":500,"message":"connect ETIMEDOUT 159.220.1.19:443","statusMessage":"Internal Server Error"}

exception occured : Error code 500 | Server Error: {"code":500,"message":"connect ETIMEDOUT 159.220.1.19:443","statusMessage":"Internal Server Error"}

Examples of how I use get_news_headlines and get_news_story:

headlines = ek.get_news_headlines(query=q, date_from=start_date, date_to=end_date, count=100)

allNews = []

index = pd.DataFrame(headlines, columns=['storyId']).values.tolist()

for i, storyId in enumerate(index):

try:

x = parse_news(storyId[0])

allNews.append(x)

except:

continue

parse_news function calls get_news_story once

def parse_news(storyId):

x = ek.get_news_story(storyId)

I hope this can help solve the issue.

Rgds,

Jean-Baptiste

Hi,

Any progress on this issue?

Let me know if you need more info to solve the issue.

Also let me know if i should redirect my request to another channel. Maybe this is not the right place for this kind of issues...

Hi,

I apologize, I didn't see your responses and I was notified by the support about your messages !

The message "2020-09-29 16:45:35,369 P[6300] [MainThread 9780] Error on handshake port 9060 : TimeoutException("TimeoutException on HTTP request: ReadTimeout('',)",) " means that API Proxy in Eikon Desktop is not running.

Could you check following steps :

1. To check if API Proxy is running well, you can open http://localhost:9000/api/status
2. In your script, you can activate verbose log and when you set app_key, you can test if connection is up before continue as follow:

ek.set_log_level(1) ek.set_app_key("xxxx") 
state = ek.get_desktop_session().get_open_state() 
if state == ek.Session.State.Open:
     headlines = ek.get_news_headlines(query=q, date_from=start_date, date_to=end_date, count=100) 
     ...

3. Lastly, if you can define environment variable HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL=trace then run your script, we'll can have full logs to investigate and check what's the root cause of this error code 500

Hi Pierre!

Step 1 fails. It gives me "this site can't be reached".

I asked IT and they have no clue. Do you know what I should do?

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

> set NO_PROXY=localhost:9000,localhost:9060
> python -c "import httpx; print(httpx.get('http://localhost:9060/api/status'))"

My version of nest-asyncio is 1.4.1

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

I get the following output:

<Response [200 OK]>

When I type:

> set NO_PROXY=localhost:9000,localhost:9060
> python -c "import httpx; print(httpx.get('http://localhost:9060/api/status'))"

I get the following output:

<Response [200 OK]>

Now about step 3 from your previous message, I did this:

Is it ok?

nest-asyncio 1.4.1 was recently identified as a cause of "Error code -1 | Port number was not identified. eikon lib error."
It's recommended to downgrade to 1.3.3 (with command "pip install nest-asyncio==1.3.3")

Once you'll downgrade it, could you run your script and check output (with debug traces as you set HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL to trace).

Once that'll be done, don't forget to delete HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL variable.

Ok thx I will. I can't do it now because of the firewall but I will try on monday and let you know.

Have a good weekend Pierre!
