RDError: Error code 0 | Error happened during config file ../Configuration\refinitiv-data.config.jso

torben1

When performing the tutorial for Refinitiv Data Library for Python I did all according to the suggestions. I created a config-file with the credentials (I checked: they are correct!) and in the Quickstart tutorial I tried QS_1.0 - Sessions.ipynb.
At the rd.open_session() statement I get a lot of errors, ending with the "RDError: Error code 0 | Error happened during config file ../Configuration\refinitiv-data.config.json read"
But the config file is in the path.

I have refinitiv data version 1.3.0.

I want a platform session.
This is the file refinitiv-data.config.json:

{

"logs": {

"level": "debug",

"transports": {

"console": {

"enabled": true

},

"file": {

"enabled": false,

"name": "refinitiv-data-lib.log"

}

}

},

"sessions": {

"default": "platform.rdp",
"platform": {

"rdp": {

"app_key": "53xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"username": "xxxxxxx",
"password": "xxxxxxxx"
},
},
"desktop": {

"workspace": {

"app-key": "YOUR APP KEY GOES HERE!"
}
}
}
}

So what is the reason for this problem?

@torben1

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I checked the configurations with the JSON Formatter website.

It reports this error.

Please remove a comma character at line 36.

I hope that this information is of help.

torben1

Thank You very much. I removed the comma and now it works.

How did you get this configuation file?

You can check it with the online tool, such as the JSON Formatter website.

I checked the file and found that this is not a valid JSON format. There are few places that miss the colon characters.

{
  "logs": {
    "level": "debug",
    "transports": {
      "console": {
        "enabled": false
      },
      "file": {
        "enabled": false,
        "name": "refinitiv-data-lib.log"
      }
    }
  },
  "sessions": {

    "platform": {

      }
    },
    "desktop": {
      "workspace": {
        "app-key": "baXXXXXXXXXX"
      }

You can get the sample file from GitHub.
