Unable to extract data from API

subhashis.bose

API.zip

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this organization (3 months old) but i have a pretty decent understanding of python. So i was testing how to extract the data from an API from API Playground but when i put in the APP key and download the data, I get a 404 error message. Can someone please assist me on this? Attached the zip file with the .ipynb file.

Hello @subhashis.bose

I checked the given source code. I found that the code just receives the machine id, password, and app key without sending them to authenticate with the RDP Auth service.

I highly recommend you check the following resources about the RDP authentication process:

• RDP APIs tutorials: Authorization - All about tokens
• RDP APIs tutorials: Authorization in Python

### RDP Endpoint URL ###

The valid RDP API endpoint for the intraday-summaries is as follows:

https://api.refinitiv.com/data/historical-pricing/v1/views/intraday-summaries/

Your code "https://api.refinitiv.com/data/historical-pricing/v1/intraday-summaries/" endpoint is missing the "/views".

Thanks for reaching out to us.

First, you need to get an access token from the RDP Authentication service and then use the access token to connect to other RDP services.

You can refer to the answer in this discussion.

I hope that this information is of help.

Hello Jirapongse.. I already have the app key from eikon as well as the machine ID and Machine password. I have set the code in such a way that i need to manually input them upon running the code and then it will extract the data. But its still not happening.

You need the application key when you are using Eikon Data API or Refinitiv Data Libraries to retrieve data from the Desktop session.

To retrieve data directly from RDP (https://api.refinitiv.com/data/historical-pricing/v1/intraday-summaries), you need the machine ID, password, and client_id.

Use the machine ID, password, and client_id to get an access token. Then use the access token to get the data. Please refer to the Quick Start of Refinitiv Data Platform APIs.

Otherwise, you can use Refinitiv Data Library for Python to retrieve data from RDP. The Refinitiv Data Library for Python provides a set of ease-of-use interfaces offering coders uniform access to the breadth and depth of financial data and services available on the Refinitiv Data Platform.
