Check if Eikon Data API is connected to the proxy
What is the best way to test in Python whether the Eikon Proxy is running?
When I run the set_app_key function I sometimes get an error saying ""Error on checking port 9000". This error is caused as Eikon has no running connection as I might be logged in on my mobile phone although Eikon is still running on my Desktop.
Thanks for your help.

If you use the latest version of Eikon Data APIs library for Python (v1.0.1) and you execute get_data or get_timeseries methods when Eikon API Proxy is not available, the methods will throw an exception "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 exception can be easily trapped using try... except.
try:
For this reason I'm not sure what value a separate from a data retrieval call test if Eikon API Proxy is available would provide. But if for whatever reason you need such a test, then calling set_app_key is your best bet.
ek.get_timeseries('TRI.N')
except ek.EikonError as err:
if err.code == 401:
print("Eikon API Proxy is not available")0
