Pull data from datastream

cecilia.mariotti

I'm trying to pull data from datastream into Python. I can do it successfully using the eikon.get_data package and using the data identifiers from the Eikon platform. However, there are data (e.g. I/B/E/S indices) that can't be accessed from the Reuters platform, but can from Refinitiv Datastream in Excel. Could you please let me know if there is a way to get the exact same data I can get through datastream in excel in Python? thanks a lot for the help

The connection error looks similar to this question. You may need to set the http_proxy or https_proxy environment variables.

FYI I have tried with pydatastream and DatastreamDSWS but I can't connect to my account with my logins credentials. Any idea on how this should be set up?
