Datastream API Datatypes

in Datastream

Hi,

I'm trying to pull data via the python Datastream api as a replacement for the excel plugin. In excel, there is an option to specify datatype and different datatypes change the time series output entirely. I was wondering how I might do that via the python api?

An example for time series TOTMKCN on 2020 Q2 and Q3 data is in the attached photos.

Datatype DWNP:image

Datatype DWSE:image


Thanks,

    Assuming you're using DatastreamDSWS library, you can utilize the same mnemonics and datatypes you use in =DSGRID worksheet function in Excel, e.g.

    ds.get_data ('TOTMKCN',['DWNP', 'DWSE'], start='-1Y', freq='Q')

    Does this answer your question?
