Refinitiv's APIs, such as Eikon Data API, Datastream Web Service, DataScope Select, RTH, and Refinitiv Data Platform also support R. In this article, we will explain steps to:

  • Install R
  • Install Jupyter Notebook for R
  • Install Refinitiv's APIs for R, such as Eikon Data API, and Datastream Web Service
  • Install Plotly which is R Open Source Graphing Library

Moreover, in the end, there is a link to R examples that demonstrate how to use Refinitiv's APIs with Jupyter Notebook.
