    I assumed that you are using the httpx version 0.20.0.

    I got the same error when using the Eikon Data API with the httpx 0.20.0.

    Please downgrade the version of the httpx to 0.19.0

     pip install httpx==0.19.0

    You can verify the httpx version by using the following command.

    C:\>pip show httpx
    Name: httpx
    Version: 0.19.0
    Summary: The next generation HTTP client.

    Hello @saad.ali

    Did you run the Eikon/Workspace application? Please be informed that The Eikon/Workspace application integrates a Data API proxy that acts as an interface between the Eikon Data API Python library and the Eikon Data Platform. For this reason, the Eikon/Workspace application must be running when you use the Eikon Data API Python library.

    If the Eikon/Workspace application is already running, I suggest you try the steps on this Eikon Data API(Python) Troubleshooting article.
