    Hi @alankar.gupta

    With Eikon Data API version 1.1.8

    I just tested this code and this should be the code you are looking for:

    syntax = "Hospital AND ( build OR reopen OR construct OR expansion OR upgrade OR develop OR repurpose OR modern )"
    df = ek.get_news_headlines(syntax)

    df

    @alankar.gupta you can double click on the query in NEWS monitor app and it will generate the query string for you which you can copy and paste into the get_news_headlines() API call. Please see my article which goes through this. I hope this can help.

    Hello Jason. I think i need to convert this to a python format before copy pasting it. That's what i am trying to understand.

    I was trying with this query but it's not working.

    df = ek.get_news_headlines(query="Hospital\\\" AND \\\ ("build\\\" OR \\\"reopen\\\" OR \\\"construct\\\" OR \\\"expansion\\\" OR \\\"upgrade\\\" OR \\\"develop\\\" OR \\\"repurpose\\\" OR \\\"modern\\\" ))

    Can You help me with this?

    Many Thanks! One last thing. Can we filter news based on most important? We can do that in Eikon Desktop.

    Hi @alankar.gupta

    I believe that it is not possible to filter by "only important" with ek.get_news_headlines()

    You can run help(ek.get_news_headlines) to see the function description.
