using eikson to download data while PC is logout

I tried to use task scheduler to trigger python code to download reuters data through eikson. However, I got the following error:

requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL 'None': No schema supplied.

Any idea to resolve it?

  • @peng.tian the python API is not really designed with your workflow in mind. Instead, I suggest you look into using an enterprise-level API, such as DataScope.

  • That means that you didn't previously start Eikon, or didn't set your app key.

  • Thanks. Does DataScope have python API?

  • DataScope and Thomson Reuters Tick History (TRTH) products provide RESTful APIs, which you can use in any modern development environment including Python. On this portal you can find numerous examples of using Python to retrieve data from DataScope or TRTH.
