Hi @MichaelQIU,
If you are looking for assistance with Datastream product usage rather then Datastream API requests, I would suggest involving Datastream support via Refinitiv Helpdesk, select "I need help using product" and select product "Datastream" from the drop-down list.
Refer to the DSWS USER STATS AND LIMITS guide, to get usage stats, you can use “STATS” keyword as an instrument and “DS.USERSTATS” in data type.
I think that you can use it with the fetch command, as mentioned in the GETTING STARTED WITH EVIEWS guide.
unfortunately this does not work; i have used the following command that e.g. working for fetching pe data from the msci energy sector
fetch(d="ds_db") enegyus(pe) = this works (with ds_db being my alias)
fetch(d="ds_db") STATS(DS.USERSTATS) = this does not work, i believe this must be because the retrieved data is a statistic but not a series;
could you pls clarify which command to use exactly
much appreciated, thx!

Hello @MichaelQIU,
Perhaps something like this?
ds.get_data(tickers='STATS', fields=['DS.USERSTATS',], start='2020-05-20', kind=0)
I am also basing this guess on the document sited by @Jirapongse
hi Zoya
thx for the suggestions, unfortunately, this does not work in eviews, it just produces an error; this syntax is not applicable in eviews
best
