Hi @Alex.Conti
Unfortunately not, this is not possible.
You can access much of the Eikon data via the RDP APIs as well - which can connect to our cloud-based Refinitiv Data Platform and therefore does not require a local Eikon instance.
Please feel free to discuss and explore the RDP offering with your Refinitiv Representative to confirm if it would provide the required data/content sets you are interested in.

hi @Alex.Conti ,
Cannot, the Eikon application (or Refinitiv Workspace) must be running when you use the Eikon Data API Python library.
you may check the quick start guide for more detail.
