Default proxy port #9000 failed

Timeout access Eikon API from Phyton

API status works from web browser (http://localhost:9000/ping?all and http://localhost:9060/api/status)

Running sample code returns timeout error.

Code:

import eikon as ek

ek.set_log_level(1)

ek.set_app_key('<app key here>')

df,e = ek.get_data('REUTERS','TR.RIC')

Thank you so much for sharing your finding.

Eikon Data API supports a proxy setting via the Windows HTTP_PROXY variable. For example:

import os
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY']="http://127.0.0.1:8080"

It looks like it requires a proxy to connect to the localhost. I assumed that a web browser also uses a proxy to connect to http://localhost:9060/api/status.

You may verify a proxy setting used by a web browser. It may have a security application that blocks a connection to the localhost.

kurt.dumangeng

confirmed that Eikon is running and has realtime and portInUse is 9060

Hi @kurt.dumangeng ,

For further investigation, could you detail your

• Eikon Desktop or Refinitiv Workspace application's version
• Python version
• Version of python libs below:
  • eikon
  • httpx
  • nest-asynco

Jirapongse

@kurt.dumangeng

Sorry about the issue that you are facing.

Eikon Data API internally uses the httpx library to send HTTP requests so you need to check the version of those libraries mentioned by my colleague.

Moreover, you can try the following code to send an HTTP request to http://localhost:9060/api/status.

import httpx
session = httpx.AsyncClient(
            headers={"Accept": "application/json"},
            timeout=15,
        )
response = await session.request("GET","http://localhost:9060/api/status")
response.content

The output is:

I am using:

• Eikon Data API 1.1.16
• httpx 0.22.0
• nest_asyncio 1.5.1

I hope that this information is of help

kurt.dumangeng

Hi Dev team,

My libraries:

Eikon 1.1.16

Httpx 0.22.0

Nest_asyncio 1.5.4

Please check if below code is ok. I was getting an “await outside async function” error and updated the code:

import httpx

import asyncio

session = httpx.AsyncClient(

headers={"Accept": "application/json"},

timeout=15,

)

async def request():

response = await session.request("GET", 'http://localhost:9060/api/status')

response.content

asyncio.run(request())

I get this error :

raise mapped_exc(message) from exc

httpx.ReadTimeout

It looks like there is definitely something blocking between python and eikon? As using chrome to access http://localhost:9060/api/status works fine.

kurt.dumangeng

So I got it to work using this:

import requests

proxies = {

'http': 'http://localhost:9060',

}

r =requests.get('http://localhost:9060/api/status', timeout=30, proxies=proxies)

print(r.status_code)

print(r.text)

Output:

200

{"statusCode":"ST_PROXY_READY","version":"3.3.5-eikon4"}

Question: Is there a way to set the proxy within python using the Eikon library? Changing the Windows http_proxy variable works too, but I’d rather not use that solution.

kurt.dumangeng

Thank you so much! I have explained this to the IT and they will check it from their end. Thank you again
