This is the code I am using to get data for car sales that works on Datastream as *CAR..P but gives me an error on Python:

df = ds.get_data(tickers = "*CAR...P", start = '2021-01-01', end = '2021-09-01', freq = 'M')

Out[4]:

Instrument Datatype Value

0 *CAR...P $$ER: E100,INVALID CODE OR EXPRESSION ENTERED

You can search the DSWS universe, using the Datastream navigator. The python API can be used to retrieve the data for those data types.

If you are unable to find it, please directly contact the Refinitiv Datastream Web Service via MyRefinitiv to get help from a content expert.
