Not able to connect via python

Hi, I have installed PyDSWS package but still not able to connect to DataStream, getting this error:

import PyDSWS
ds = PyDSWS.Datastream(username='evert.vrugt@olamnet.com', password='XXXXXX')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\PyDSWS\datastream.py", line 19, in __init__
self.token = self.get_token(username, password)
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\PyDSWS\datastream.py", line 34, in get_token
token = token_json["TokenValue"]
KeyError: 'TokenValue'

Any help would be appreciated

Yes it looks good for while now. Just needed to remove DS from Datastream credential to make it work.

It looks like you're using your Eikon account credentials to connect to DSWS. You need to use Datastream credentials instead (Datastream Child ID and password) as per the Quick Start Guide. To obtain Datastream credentials, please contact your Refinitiv account manager.
