Hi @yansheng.ming ,


If you want to retrieve historical series of the economic indicators, I would advise using Refinitiv Data Libraries for Python (see the documentation and the quick start here). See an example below:

import refinitiv.data as rd
rd.open_session()
rd.get_history(universe=["USCPI=ECI", "USCPIM=ECI", "aUSCPFYAR"], start = '2020-01-01', end = '2024-07-17')

To verify the RICs and also for other economic fields you can contact HelpDesk via Eikon/Wokspace Help center or through my.refinitiv.com.


Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Haykaz
