Understanding the Behavior of TON API Endpoints and the "count" Parameter

Answered

I am using the TON API to fetch transaction data, and I have noticed some discrepancies when using the /getTransactions, /lookupBlock, and /getBlockTransactions methods.

The /getTransactions method returns a transaction with a specific utime, but when I look up the block using /lookupBlock and then fetch the transactions using /getBlockTransactions, I can't find any transaction with the same logical time.

Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something?

Additionally, I would like to know the purpose of the "count" parameter in the /getBlockTransactions method, as it seems to have no effect on the results.

The discrepancies you are experiencing with the TON API endpoints could be due to querying the incorrect workchain. The address UQCzwxqIw1pt41DND9pgGfAOhJKtQQEgjVcpn0rHxv-4b8Ob resides in the basechain (workchain=0), but you are looking for transactions in the masterchain (workchain=-1).

To find the correct transaction, follow these steps:

Query the /getBlockTransactions endpoint with the correct workchain (workchain=0) and shard (-9223372036854775808) values:

https://toncenter.com/api/v2/getBlockTransactions?workchain=0&shard=-9223372036854775808&seqno=21407484

This query should return the required transaction.

If you still cannot find the transaction, retrieve all shards for the block you found using the /shards endpoint:

https://toncenter.com/api/v2/shards?seqno=16512830

Then, for the block you found and for each shard, get the transactions list. You should find your transaction in the block with the following parameters: workchain=0, shard=-9223372036854775808, and seqno=21407484.

By querying the correct workchain and shard, you should be able to locate the transaction with the same logical time as initially given to the /getTransactions method.
