Python API: can not request equity indices timeseries in EUR currency

For some equity indices such as "World-Datastream Market", we need timeseries in EUR currency. Using the get_data() function in python it only works in terms of a snapshot:

  • ds.get_data('TOTMKWD',fields=['X~E'], start='2020-01-01', end='2021-10-01', kind=0)

whereas it does NOT work in terms of timeseries resulting in error message:

  • ds.get_data('TOTMKWD',fields=['X~E'], start='2020-01-01', end='2021-10-01')

How can we still request timeseries for equity indices such as "TOTMKWD" in EUR currency?

You can try this one instead. 

ds.get_data('TOTMKWD~E,TOTMKWD(PI)~E', start='2020-01-01', end='2021-10-01')

The output is:
