Eikon python api Response 404

in Eikon Data APIs

As i knew, eikon python api is getting data via http://localhost:9000/api/v1/data.

When i use the api or send a post to that link, I will receive HTTPError: <Response [404]>.

The funny part is that some time I can use the api properly but not any more now.

How it can be fix?

Also, for the api performance, it seem like slower than eikon-excel. Is it have some way to getting faster when let say I need to get huge amount of data?

    I checked your Eikon account. You're not subscribing to any services from Thomson Reuters. You subscribe to a product named Metastock Xenith from the company named Metastock, which includes a variant of Eikon, but that variant of Eikon does not include access to Eikon Data APIs. For more details see my answer to a similar question raised on this forum earlier:
    https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/answers/26084/view.html
    I would add to my response that if you're looking to retrieve large volumes of data I suggest that perhaps instead of a market data terminal product like Eikon you consider one of Thomson Reuters Enterprise products designed and engineered for bulk data retrieval.

    Hi @JINCAO

    There are 2 APIs

    1. Side by Side Integration API (SxS API)

    2. Eikon Data API (beta)

    SxS API connects to localhost:9000

    You can see more detail on this page.

    To use Eikon Data APIs in beta, you have to download and install Eikon Proxy API beta from this page.

    The proxy musts be running when you use the Eikon Data APIs.

    The process is EikonAPIProxy.exe listens on TCP 36036 port.

    The endpoint is http://localhost:36036/api/v1/data

    Please note that the API is still in beta and subjects to changes.
