Using Datstream Web Service: How do I get a datastream code (mnemonic) based on ISIN and currency?

For instance: the ETF IE00B4613386 are quoted in different markets and the DS code EMDD is for rge one quoted in London in USD, and the code D:SYBM is quoted in Xetra in Euro.

Thanks

    Maybe my question is not clear ...

    Since I want use the Datastream Web Service API, I need to deduct the it via code (ie. matlab).

    I know I can find it the Navigator, but if I need to do it for 100 ISINs use the Navigator is really time consuming.

    Hello @zoya.farberov,

    thank you for asking.

    unfortunately the answer given by @Monika.Stankovic was useless, is not what I need/want to do.

    In order to find a DS Code, I don't want to use manually the Navigator but I want to do that via coding.

    thanks

    Hello @c.aydemir,

    The functionality within the product is as product expert @Monika.Stankovic has described,

    Currently, the best course of action is to use as suggested by the product expert, and lookup via Navigator or Content Helpdesk.

    As a longer term solution, optionally, raise an Enhancement Request on product Datastream to prioritize an additional or imporved functonality.
