How to pull index data from Datastream in Python?

For example, I want to pull the price of Hang Seng Index which the ric is ".HSI".

I can use the ric to pull price from Eikon, but I can't pull from datastream.

The output is:

To list all available fields, please refer to the Datastream Navigator website.

Thank you!
