    Hi @emmanuel.chaslin Thanks for your question. The get_news_headlines API call uses a query syntax that can be generated from the NEWS app. (Type NEWS into search bar) - I have written an article on how to generate the query from natural language. You can use topic codes or keywords or languages etc - all options appear when you type something into the news query bar, note keywords must be properly escaped by adding another set of "" around those terms - see the ""oil"" term below. 

    df = ek.get_news_headlines("( Topic:WND) AND (""oil"" OR Topic:PADD3 )")
    df

    I hope this can help.
