Python Selenium - Authentication Error

remy.he

Dear all,

I am trying to connect to Thomson Reuters Eikon website through Python Selenium, and while logging in it keeps showing me the following message: Screenshot

Can anyone advise on this issue?

I do not know if it is the right forum to post this question, if not please move it to the relevant one.

Thanks and regards,

Remy

@remy.he using Selenium or any other tools that facilitate web scraping is strictly not allowed to be used on Eikon. Instead, if you are looking for content, you can get it through the Python Eikon data api.

Hi Zhenya,

Thanks for your answer, we intend to automate the extraction of data (.xlsx format) from Cambridge's Benchmark Calculator (doing it manually takes days). How to proceed on the extraction process? Can it be done though Eikon data api?
