Python/Eikon API - Proxy Not Loading

jdog88

I am trying to use the Eikon module in Python.

When i attempt to import Eikon, python displays the following errors:

Warning: file .portInUse was not found. Is Eikon Scripting Proxy running? Defaulting to port 36036

EikonError: 'Error code 401 | Eikon Proxy not installed or not running. Please read the documentation to know how to install and run the proxy. '

i am running the latest version of Eikon (4.0.42), and I can see "Proxy" in apps under the Eikon_> About section.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

@jdog88, according to the product management, the issue will be resolved permanently in the new version of eikon py this week .

For now, try overriding default port finding routine with this:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import eikon as tr

from eikon import Profile as profile
profile.get_scripting_proxy_port = lambda:9000

tr.set_app_id('...')
....

Thank you for your response Zhenya.

I have tried to run the following but i still get this error:

Code:

import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

import eikon as tr 

from eikon import Profile as profile 

profile.get_scripting_proxy_port = lambda:9000

tr.set_app_id('XXX') 

df = tr.get_data(['600781.SS'], ["PRC_QL_CD"])

Error:

**** line 357, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value

Any ideas why?

@jdog88, not really. What happens if you do:

df = tr.get_data(['600781.SS'], ["PRC_QL_CD"], raw_output=True)

?

Still get the same error. Although sometimes it switches back to the following:

EikonError: 'Error code 401 | Eikon Proxy not installed or not running. Please read the documentation to know how to install and run the proxy. '

This issue is being fixed and an update should be available in a week or so. The underlying problem is that port 9000 is in use by another application and Eikon proxy fails to listen on an alternate port.

Could you share whether this problem can be solved by the new version of Eikon Python API or not?
