    Could you elaborate what does P:[] in the search query do? A search for "PRXS" returns an empty dataframe but there were search results on the News Monitor app.

    also, what is the difference between ek.get_news_headlines() and rd.news.get_headlines()?

    I used the same query string appeared on the News Monitor App. It has "P:" so you may need to contact the helpdesk support team directly via MyRefinitiv to verify the query.

    If I remember correctly, ek.get_news_headlines can only get news headlines from News Wire while rd.news.get_headlines can get headlines from other sources.

    Hi @benjamin.lee3 ,

    In the News Monitor App, when you double-click on News Monitor App's search bar, the query string of the search you're performing in the app will be shown, for example, I double-clicked on the bar (when the arrow is pointing to)

    then the query string is shown as P:[Forte Insurance Cambodia Plc], you can copy this string to perform the search with Python code
