Hi there,

Is there a way for [us](https://trustblock.run) to get the total number of transactions as displayed on [etherscan](https://etherscan.io/token/0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48).

We need the query to be universal (work with tokens and regular contracts).

Best!

Try Transfers API [ERC20 Token Transfers API | Blockchain Data API (V2)](https://docs.bitquery.io/docs/examples/transfers/erc20-token-transfer-api/)

@SachaTrustblock check [counf of tx example - Blockchain Data API](https://ide.bitquery.io/counf-of-tx-example) → this works with tokens

[count of tx with smartcontract - Blockchain Data API](https://ide.bitquery.io/count-of-tx-with-smartcontract) → calls to smart contracts

the second one works with both tokens and smart contracts
