DatastreamDSWS2R

Hi, I am unable to make DatastreamDSWS2R work. I am wondering if I have the wrong log in details. From what I can read online the username for DatastreamDSWS2R is not an email address. The package I have installed in R and want to use to download data is the one above, DatastreamDSWS2R: https://rdrr.io/cran/DatastreamDSWS2R/

Can you help me to set this up?

Typically, the username of the DatastreamDSWS2R is not an email address. From the Datastream Web Service Overview page:

Your login ID is usually designed to start with Z, have 3 letters and 3 numbers (for example: ZXXX123). 

You can test your login via this website.
