iplot doesnt work

m.kofler

Hi,

I am struggling with to run a piece of code of the INTRODUCTION TO EIKON WEB AND SCRIPTING API webinar.

import eikon as ek
ek.set_app_id('xxxxxxxxx')
msft=ek.get_timeseries('MSFT.O',fields='CLOSE',start_date='2015-06-23',end_date='2017-06-23')
import cufflinks
msft.iplot(kind='line',color='blue',bestfit=True)

returns

Aw, snap! We don't have an account for ''. Want to try again? You can authenticate with your email address or username. Sign in is not case sensitive.

Don't have an account? plot.ly

PlotlyError: Because you didn't supply a 'file_id' in the call, we're assuming you're trying to snag a figure from a url. You supplied the url, '', we expected it to start with 'https://plot.ly'.
Run help on this function for more information.

I have to admit that a am not overly familiar with Jupyter.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @m.kofler

As mentioned on the webinar - I use cufflinks which is a library based on plotly. This is not created/supported by Thomson Reuters. You can see a tutorial of how to setup your plot.ly account here.

Joris.Hoendervangers

The 'cufflinks' pacakge makes use of 'plot.ly'. It looks like this has to do with using online vs. off-line methods of plot.ly. Could you restart your kernel and try again?

Could you help @jorge.santos ?

m.kofler

Thanks Joris. Have restarted, but no luck

Hi @m.kofler,

You have to explicitly go offline when using cufflinks if you don't have an account. For example:

import cufflinks as cf
cf.go_offline()

m.kofler

Worked. Many thanks Nick!

m.kofler

Followed the steps and works, cheers Jorge!

@m.kofler: Please see iPython notebooks at TR samples github site, which have working samples using plotly and cufflinks.

Another sample.
