KeyError in Python
When trying to enable the eikon Data API using Python, my sample code test.py compilation fails stating KeyError in configparser.py with the App Key generated on Eikon. Any idea on how to resolve this?

Hi @donia.augustine,
We don't know what's the structure of your config file which is referenced as variable cfg. If the key that you are trying to use is the appKey, then directly use it in the api call like -
ek.set_app_key('35xxxxxx7b')

Hello @donia.augustine
The Python configparser uses the following syntax for the cfg file:
[section name]
key1 = value
key2= valueExample:
[workspace]
app_id = XXXXXX7777BBBBB8888Usage: cfg['section name']['key'] like the following
import eikon as ek
import configparser as cp
cfg = cp.ConfigParser()
cfg.read('credential.cfg')
ek.set_app_key(cfg['workspace']['app_id'])Based on your error, your code is cfg['section name'][value] which is not the valid format for the configparser.
#your code
ek.set_app_key(cfg['eikon'][{your app key}])0
