Explict search in get_news_headlines does not work

Hi there, I am having issue using the eikon pythin api get_news_headlines function. As you can see in the enclosed screenshot. The plain query works fine. However, the explicit search syntax does not work for me anymore. I have used such syntax to query news headlines before, and not sure why it isn't working. Please help me investigate. I am using eikon package version '1.1.16', the query: query = "\"ESG report\" OR \"CSR report\" OR \"sustainability report\" OR \"climate report\"". The same query works on the terminal.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reaching out to us.

The escape characters in the query are quite tricky. The query should look like this:

df = ek.get_news_headlines(query="\\\"ESG report\\\" OR \\\"CSR report\\\" OR \\\"sustainability report\\\" OR \\\"climate report\\\"")
df

The output is:

I hope that this information is of help.
