Your Eikon account is not allowed to run Eikon API Proxy response when using Eikon API R.

I am trying to use the eikonapir package with R and when I try to run the following line I get a response that says my account is not allowed to run Eikon API proxy.

get_data("IBM",list('TR.DivExDate','TR.DivAdjustedGross','TR.DivCurr'),list('DateType'='XD','SDate'='1D','EDate'='2016-01-01'), debug=TRUE)

I have generated an App Key and I have Eikon logged in on my computer.

  • Access to Eikon Data APIs is excluded from lower tier Eikon variants: Eikon Core and Eikon for Exchange Pricing. If your Eikon variant is one of the above, the error you saw is normal and expected. In order to use Eikon Data APIs you need to upgrade your Eikon subscription to a higher tier variant of Eikon.
