Hi guys,  
I am trying out the smart contract events api and the data doesn’t seem to match with what I see in etherscan. At 13:04:00 UTC on 25th August, this is the bitquery query I tried :

```auto
{
ethereum(network: ethereum){
arguments(options: { limit: 1000}
time: {since: "2021-08-25T11:00:00"},  
smartContractAddress: {is: "0xBd3531dA5CF5857e7CfAA92426877b022e612cf8"},
smartContractEvent: {is: "Transfer"})
{
count
}}
}

```

And this is the result I got :

```auto

{
  "ethereum": {
    "arguments": [
      {
        "count": 42
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

Whereas Etherscan shows only 25 transactions overall in the past ~6 hours (from 13:04:00 UTC on 25th Aug) for the same contract. Is my query incorrect somehow?

There must have been some kind of misunderstanding or miscalculation. I just checked [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0xBd3531dA5CF5857e7CfAA92426877b022e612cf8) and it seems like at the time I checked (11:12 PM IST) the data shown by Etherscan was of **50** transactions as shown in the below screenshot.

And when I this GraphQL query

```auto
{
  ethereum(network: ethereum) {
    arguments(
      options: {limit: 1000}
      time: {since: "2021-08-25T16:00:00Z"}
      smartContractAddress: {is: "0xBd3531dA5CF5857e7CfAA92426877b022e612cf8"}
      smartContractEvent: {is: "Transfer"}
    ) {
      count
    }
  }
}

```

it returned **51** as the count (keep in mind that at the time the transactions in Etherscan were being displayed, there were 3 pending transactions already loading) as shown in the screenshot below.

Hi Sayon,  
Thanks for the reply. If you check your screenshot, only some of those 50 transactions are **Transfer From** methods and the rest are other methods, mostly Approval methods. If you look at the PPG smart contract here : PPG Token, the ERC721.sol file, you can see that Transfer event is not emitted by either of the Approval methods. Does this mean the is: “Transfer” event filter is not working for whatever reason?
