Hello @Rilecs
Question 1: Is there LSEG Data Platform / Refinitiv cloud API entitlement for server-side applications, independent of Workspace desktop session? and more specifically?
Answer: The Data Platform APIs (RDP, also known as Delivery Platform) is a cloud-based HTTP REST APIs. The Data Platform and Workspace are different products. The Data Platform account has its own credential and permission set. You cannot use your Workspace account credential with the Data Platform.
Once you got your Data Platform account, you need to contact your LSEG Representative or Account Manager to help you get the same item permission as your Workspace account.
Question 2: Can my backend running outside Workspace authenticate and call LSEG data APIs without relying on the local desktop proxy on port 9000?
Answer: An application with a Desktop Session must be run in the same machine as the Workspace desktop application. It means your backend needs to run the Workspace desktop application at the same time.
In this kind of backend/server-side application scenario, the Platform Session that connects to the Data Platform is more suitable.
I hope this helps.
