Hi,

From matlab, i call the Eikon Data API to pull the data by using python. I am using "set_app_key" function in my code to identify Refinitive Platform befor using "get_data" function. I presume an Eikon user doesn't need to send the API code every time they pull data. I did it multiple times by calling just the "get_data" line without going through the API key line AFTER I send the API key once.

i) Does this mean that if one sends 1 API request, one can send another one, say, 1 hour later without a key?

ii) How does Eikon know how long to keep the connection open after receiving 1 API key message?

Thank You,

Priya
