ld.news.get_headlines

I was using python library to fetch news by ld.news.get_headlines(query='"Elon Musk" AND Language:LEN AND Source:"X"', count=10). However it returned LDError: Error code 400 | Query cannot return any result.

Since I was trying to retrieve social media posts (explicitly X posts), is there a function to do it?

Hello @Teddy

I can replicate the same issue on my end with both Desktop and Platform session.

I see that the Workspace's New Monitor App can filter the X news source as follows:

I will contact the Data Library team to confirm if this news data source X is available to query via the API.

I also want to know the reason behind for news data source X - will appreciate for your further reply, thanks

The issue likely originates from the News endpoint.

Please contact the News Service – Delivery Platform support team directly via LSEG Support to confirm and investigate the problem.

Can I please suggest to add repository=Social to query

all repos

/headlines?query="Elon Musk" AND Source:X&limit=100&repository=NewsWire,NewsRoom,WebNews,Social

only social

/headlines?query="Elon Musk" AND Source:X&limit=100&repository=Social

It appears this is what is being submitted:

/headlines?query=Paris and repositories:Social&limit=10

But, it should be:

/headlines?query=Paris&limit=10&repository=Social

/headlines?query=Source:X&limit=10&repository=Social

meanwhile we will be making Social repo available by default if its not provided

Hello @Teddy

The library team is acknowledged of this issue. They are investigating the issue.

In News Cloud Services (NCS), we identified issue whereby the repository parameter (Social) is not supported by DATA LIB library.

NCS is planning to release a fix which will be available to all users on Oct 22.

The following query syntax will work upon the fix being applied on Oct 22:

"querystring": {

"query": "\"Elon Musk\" AND Source:X",

"sort": "newToOld",
"limit": 100,
