Eikon / RDP API

melarbi

Hi. Please can you point me to a Java or C++ ( not .Net ) API for Eikon or RDP. I only have a licence for Eikon ( not a licence for Elektron ). Looking at streaming prices and static data collection for Equity instruments.

Hi @melarbi

I am sorry but I believe that the answer is no, you cannot use C++ or Java APIs to retrieve streaming data if you only have access to Eikon Desktop product.

I would suggest that you get in touch with your Refinitiv Account Manager and see other additional products such as ERT(Elektron Realtime) in Cloud which provide C++ and Java APIs for streaming data.

Hi @melarbi,

We do not have a Java or C++ library for Eikon API.

RDP is a RESTful service and provides both streaming and reference data. You can use any language to invoke these API calls. The streaming data uses websockets. So here are a few things that you can try:

RDP REST API sample in Java

Websocket API samples for Realtime data in cloud

Elektron API sample for Realtime data in cloud

Hello @melarbi

You can use the Eikon Data API to retrieve streaming data. Please see more detail in "Streaming API - How to retrieve real-time streaming prices" chapter in Eikon Data API Tutorials page.

Please note that Eikon 4/Refinitiv Workspace application must be running when you use the Eikon Data API Python library.
