You open a platform session using the default value of the signon_control parameter (signon_control=True).
In future library version v2.0, this default will be changed to False.
If you want to keep the same behavior as today, you will need to set the signon_control parameter to True either in the library configuration file
({'sessions':{'platform':{'your_session_name':{'signon_control':true}}}}) or in your code where you create the Platform Session.
These alternative options are already supported in the current version of the library.

You can use the Refinitiv Data Library for Python to retrieve monthly economic indicators like inflation and unemployment by passing the relevent Refinitiv Instrument Code to the get_history function with the interval parameter set to "monthly".
Here’s how to retrieve the Consumer Price Index, a monthly inflation indicator released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics:
rd.get_history(
"USCPI=ECI",
interval="monthly",
)
Session is not opened. Can't send any request
