Do Eikon Data API and Refinitiv Data Platform API have a different coverage? (It seems to me that they contain the same instruments and fields) What are the differences, if any?

Refinitiv Data Platform is the new strategic data distribution platform aimed to unify the distribution of all Refinitiv content assets. It is being built as we speak, and at this time it does not yet provide access to all content available through various Refinitiv products.
Eikon Data APIs retrieve data using legacy infrastructure that will eventually be replaced by RDP. However at this time numerous datasets available through Eikon are not yet available through RDP. This is the reason why RDP Libraries include Eikon Data APIs as a module, which can be imported using
import refinitiv.dataplatform.eikon as ek
Using RDP Libraries you can access RDP and retrieve data that is already available on this platform, and you can also utilize Eikon Data APIs and retrieve data that is not yet available from RDP.
