Error getting started with Reuters dataplatfom in Python

henrik.karlsson

I am following this tutorial as best as I can: https://developers.refinitiv.com/en/article-catalog/article/getting-start-with-refinitiv-data-platform

I have installed Eikon like so:

pip install eikon

and I have installed Refinitiv dataplatform like so:

pip install refinitiv.dataplatform

and when running pip list I see the following installations (and many more)

pip list
Package                Version
---------------------- --------------
...
eikon                  1.1.14
...
refinitiv-dataplatform 1.0.0a11.post1
...

in this (miniconda) environment I launch jupyter notebook and run the following to commands in a notebook cell:

import eikon as ek
import refinitiv.dataplatform as rdp

which fails like this - sorry for the long traceback

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AttributeError: module 'refinitiv' has no attribute 'dataplatform'

If I keep the import Eikon line only, then it works, however as soon as I add the second line with the refinitiv.dataplatform import, then it fails with the above error message.

Any ideas or suggestions on what to check next would be appreciated - and apologies if this is a basic question, it's the first time I'm trying to use the API.

Hello @henrik.karlsson

If you are using the Refinitiv Data Platform Libraries, the Python version of the libraries already has the Eikon Data API for you. You do not need to install the Eikon Data API separately.

Please find more detail regarding how to use the Eikon Data API module of the RDP Libraries from this thread.

I changed my setup to using these versions:

pip list
Package                Version
---------------------- --------------
...
eikon                  1.1.14
...
refinitiv-dataplatform 1.0.0a8.post1
...

and after that it works. Not 100% sure why this happens, but at least the problem is solved for now.

Hello @henrik.karlsson

Additionally, I cannot replicate the issue in my environment with my local Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook.

Note: I have installed Jupyter with the following command.

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab

Thank you for the follow-up Jirapong, yes, all satisfactory. Have a great holiday period!
