Hello @tnksnsk314

The Python pip tool needs to connect to the internet to download the Eikon Data API package from the https://pypi.org/ repository. The error message means the pip tool cannot connect to the internet behind the client network.

I highly recommend the client contact their local IT department to verify this network issue.
