Keywords search in News Screener

Hi, I am trying to use the get_news_headlines to run a keyword search on Python. I have noticed that if I use a single word this works as expected, as per example:

ek.get_news_headlines(query = 'plastic', count=100)

However, I am trying to use in this case multiple words combined in a single string as my query. For example I am looking to search for al headline containing the string 'sustainability linked'. On the Eikon News Screener I get multiple hits:

But none on Python using the same format as above:

ek.get_news_headlines(query = 'plastic use', count=100)

1657279263779.png

Would you please help me understanding how to run this correctly?

Also, can you advise whether the RDP API would be better suited for this searches?

Thanks!

@Giorgio Cozzolino

The query should be inside double quotation marks.

ek.get_news_headlines('\\"plastic use\\"')

The output is:
