import requests post_msg = { "DataRequest": { "DataTypes": [ { "Properties": None, "Value": "P" } ], "Date": { "End": "", "Frequency": "", "Kind": 0, "Start": "" }, "Instrument": { "Properties": None, "Value": "VOD" }, "Tag": None }, "Properties": { "Key": "Source", "Value": None }, "TokenValue": ds.tokenResp['TokenValue'] } res = requests.post("https://product.datastream.com/DSWSClient/V1/DSService.svc/rest/GetData", json=post_msg) print(res.status_code) print(res.headers) print(res.text)
