in Eikon Data APIs

Hi, I'm trying to get news headlines for a specific topic on python using eikon library, however, the news I get through the API are not the same as in the sreen of the desktop version. Im using the following function: ek.get_news_headlines('Topic:CBDC',date_from = start_date, date_to = end_date) but I only get a small sample of the news I see on the screen on news 2.0 for that topic. Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi @FCM10

    I would suggest using the new library folowing this tutorial:

    I'm afraid that if the new library does not resolve your issue, this forum might not be the best place to ask for help. Please note that this LSEG Developer Q&A Forum is for LSEG API technical questions only. For content questions such as yours, please use myaccount.lseg.com.
