Some Questions Regarding Datascope Select Python API
1) re "Most, although not all, of the content and functionality available in DataScope Select is available in the REST API. " What exactly is missing?
- I can not see Python SDK for the REST API?
- here https://developers.refinitiv.com/datascope-select-dss/datascope-select-rest-api/downloads I see "Symbology Conversion Using The DSS REST API in Python. Updated 29 June 2018 to retrieve the extraction notes."
- To be clear, our language is python 3
- Is there any API throttling?

What exactly is missing in the REST API
Since that sentence was written, the main gaps were filled. I do not have a list of the remaining differences, but there is really not much missing, just a few points of detail, or slight variations in parameters and such. And the REST API also has capabilities that the GUI does not deliver (like On Demand extractions).
Python SDK
There is none, the only SDK we deliver is for .Net C#. An SDK slightly facilitates programming, but that should not prevent you from using the language of your choice, most can interface with a REST API quite easily. As you can see from our downloads, we deliver samples for Python, Java and nodeJS, and if you look under the News and Events tab you will see an article on integrating with Power BI.
There is a tutorial that explains programming without the SDK, it also covers Python.
API throttling
There are some limits to what you can request with the API, to avoid overloading the servers. These limits are mainly related to the maximum number of instruments per request, they are documented here.
