diff between desktop and plateform python

tommyf

hi, i try to request the api with the lseg lib with

import lseg.data as ld

the problem is :

with theses fields

FIELDS = [
"TR.CommonName",
"TR.CouponRate",
"TR.FiCouponFrequency",
"TR.FiDayCountCode",
"TR.FiNumberAccruedDays",
"TR.FiCouponEffectiveDate",
"TR.FiNextPayDate",
"TR.FiMaturityDate",
"TR.AssetCategory",
"TR.IndexRatio",
"TR.FiCurrency",
]

with the desktop call

session_definition = self.ld.session.desktop.Definition(app_key=settings.reuters_app_key)

its work and i got return

{ "Instrument": "IT0004532559", "Company Common Name": "Italy, Republic of (Government)", "Coupon Rate": 5, "Coupon Frequency": 2, "Day Count Code": 5, "Number Accrued Days": 27, "Coupon Effective Date": "2009-09-01 00:00:00", "Next Pay Date": "2027-03-01 00:00:00", "Maturity Date": "2040-09-01 00:00:00", "Asset Category Description": "Bond", "Index Ratio": "", "Currency": "EUR"}

but with the plateform

session_definition = self.ld.session.platform.Definition(    app_key=settings.app_key,    grant=ld.session.platform.GrantPassword(username=settings.username, password=settings.password),    proxies={"http": settings.http_proxy, "https": settings.https_proxy},    signon_control=True)

it got none instead of value for most of item

{
"Instrument": "IT0004532559",
"Company Common Name": "Italy, Republic of (Government)",
"Coupon Rate": null,
"Coupon Frequency": null,
"Day Count Code": null,
"Number Accrued Days": null,
"Coupon Effective Date": null,
"Next Pay Date": null,
"Maturity Date": null,
"Asset Category Description": "Bond",
"Index Ratio": null,
"Currency": null
}

i use this

response = self.ld.get_data(    universe=[normalized_isin],    fields=FIELDS,)

Someone know if there are differences between desktop and plateform call ?

Thx

Thank you for reaching out to us.

As far as I know, data usage licences may differ between products and services. Some data may be available to desktop users through Workspace but not to enterprise users through the Data Platform. In addition, using Workspace credentials to directly access the Data Platform (cloud) could potentially violate your data usage licence or contractual terms. Please contact your LSEG account team or sales team directly to confirm this kind of usage.

I checked the response when running the same code to retrieve data from the Data Platform.

    }

      {

        "code": -2,

        "description": "empty"

      },

      {

        "code": -1,

        "description": "ok"

      },

      {

        "code": 221,

        "description": "The access to field(s) denied."

      }

    ]

  },

It returns error code 221 for those fields, which indicates "Access to field(s) denied." This may mean that the fields are not accessible through your Data Platform session. However, to confirm whether this is due to permission or entitlement restrictions, please contact the LSEG Helpdesk via LSEG Support.
