Can you let me know where to download the Eikon/LSEG Python packages and whether they are available for installation through pip?
Hi @karenallen.eusebio, Thank you for reaching out!
Yes, they are available via pip. I would recommend using the LSEG Data Library for Python instead of Eikon APIs which are very old and not updated.
!pip install lseg-data
The above command will install the package in your system. Just in case you have access to LSEG Workspace, you can use the Codebook app (search for CODEBK within LSEG Workspace) which is a cloud hosted environment and comes with pre-installed libraries this you don't need to pip install.
Note: I have hyperlinked the LSEG Data Library for Python to the developers Portal documentation having detailed instructions, quick start guides, and code samples.
Please continue on this thread if you need help further. Thank you : )

In some environments, the connections may be blocked by firewalls or other security software.
The workaround could be using the —trusted-host option. For example:
pip install —trusted-host pypi.org lseg-data
Hello @karenallen.eusebio
You can find the https://developers.lseg.com/en/api-catalog/lseg-data-platform/lseg-data-library-for-python detail on the https://pypi.org/project/lseg-data/ website too.
