For private companies, you can use PermIDs to get financial data.

For example, 5059333881 is the PermID of Schlumberger Ltd. You can use this PermID with the get_data method to get financial data.

df, err = ek.get_data("5059333881", ["TR.Commonname","TR.PCNetDebt"])
df

You can refer to the Data Item Browser video which shows how to use the Data Item Browser in Refinitiv's Workspace to improve Python-based workflows with the Eikon Data API.
