Hi @jiangjk ,

Thank you for reaching to us.

The fields without the TR prefix are real-time fields which can't provide historical data when using the get_data method.

You can contact the helpdesk support team directly via MyAccountto confirm this by asking for the Excel fomular that can be used to retrieve the historical orginal release date. If the fomular is available, we may be able to convert it to the API.
