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

Pull data from datastream
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?

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