Hi , I am trying to get real time data acess ( EURIBOR3MD= in this case) . I don't have licenced to get realtime acess of this particular RIC, I have acess of delayed data on my account. I just wanted to know if i have APi key of account which has access of realtime data and by using that key can i get realtime data ..Please note that the python code which i am running is on my PC ( not access to realtime) but using API key (account which has access and logged on some other PC).If it is possible Please also share the syntax to fetch that.

    Hi @rishav.jindal ,

    By hovering the cursor on the field you're interested in Quote application, the RIC and field that can be used to retrieve this data will be shown. For example,

    import refinitiv.data as rd

    rd.open_session()

    rd.get_data('EURIBOR3MD=', 'PRIMACT_1')

    here's the result which is the same value shown in Quote app

    Hi @rishav.jindal,

    I presume you are referring to getting real time data from Eikon/Workspace API. The API key does not contain the license/permissioning information, but it is the desktop itself.

    If the local Workspace instance you are running, does not have access to realtime data, then the API key of another user will not be able to get it either.
