PlatformSession' object has no attribute '_get_udf_url'

daryl.li

Hi,

When using the 'eikon' module, the below code works, but using the 'refinitiv.dataplatform.eikon' module as per the tutorials, yields the below '_get_udf_url' attribute error. Running python 3.8. Any ideas on how to rectify?

Thanks in advance for any help!

import refinitiv.dataplatform.eikon as ek

# import eikon as ek

ek.set_app_key('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

ek.get_timeseries('EUR=', interval='daily')

Hi @daryl.li ,

Thank you for raising this issue, we'll fix it in a next version.

You can use eikon module with a destop session as below:

import refinitiv.dataplatform as rdp
import refinitiv.dataplatform.eikon as ek

rdp.open_desktop_session('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')
ek.get_timeseries('EUR=', interval='daily')

Brilliant that worked. Thank you!

@pierre.faurel Has a fix been implemented? I am getting the same error. It seems that `refinitive.dataplatform.eikon.get_data()`, `refinitive.dataplatform.eikon. get_news_headlines()`, `refinitive.dataplatform.eikon.get_news_story()`, and `refinitive.dataplatform.eikon.get_timeseries()` do not work when using a RDP platform session.
