    Hi @Max Madjarov,

    There is a Workspace Side by side API which can authenticate, get data and pass context from a user application to workspace and vice versa. It is not a plug-in per se, and does not sit inside the workspace container, but on the side as a separate application. You can read more about it in this API page and also this article which demonstrates some functionality.

    @Gurpreet,

    thank you for your response. Is there any sandbox where I can test my application without I have to modify customer production software?

  • You can develop it in your own Workspace instance, before hosting it for your customers. I recommend that you reach out to your Refinitiv account manager to speak more about this.

    @Gurpreet,

    one more question. Does it work for Desktop applications or only web-based ones?

  • Hi @Max Madjarov,

    There is a SxS API variant which works with Eikon desktop application. I am not sure if the same is true for Workspace as well. An account manager should be able to find that out.
