You can try the DatastreamWS Test REST Service.

First, use the "Get Token" service method to get a token, and then use the "Get Data" service method with the retrieved token to get the data.

The request message looks like this:

Otherwise, you can use the provided DSWS libraries to retrieve the data. The Python sample code looks like this:

df = ds.get_data(tickers='VOD, U:IBM',fields=['X(RI)~GBP'],kind=1,start='-10D')

Hi @prasad.kambrath,

Please check out the DSWS landing page on the developers portal. You can start by using the quickstart and move on the tutorials of your choice.

The DSWS is a Restful API, but you can also use the DSWS python package, which takes care of the token management and API endpoint for you.

I tried the suggested and I get following. Is there anyway we could get currency ISO codes than symbols?

{"DataResponse": {"AdditionalResponses": [{

"Key": "Frequency",
"Value": "D"

}

"DataTypeNames": null,

"DataTypeValues": [{"DataType": "X(RI)~GBP",

"SymbolValues": [{"Currency": "£",

"Symbol": "U:URTH",

"Type": 10,

"Value": [

240.71

]

}

]

}

"Dates": [

"2023-06-09T00:00:00"

"SymbolNames": null,

"Tag": null

"Properties": null

}
