 No idea, but zap events are not propagated that well to begin with. So it depends which relay your are querying 🤔 
 I have a function that queries 3 different relays for zap receipts (primal, damus, nostr-pub)

Should I just keep adding relays? The zap sent to that event was from primal on my phone so I imagine it would at least get broadcast to the primal relay

But I guess I'll try to add more relays to your point

I'm really just looking for a reliable way to see if a note has been zapped and then by how much 
 nostr.band should have a good number of them, I think. Also Nostr.wine 
 Yeah you can probably just query nostr.band. I think they have a crawler that looks for everything. 
 nostr.band has an API endpoint to get stats like this for an event https://api.nostr.band 
 I get a Gateway Time-Out error:

 Talk to @brugeman 
 Sorry, fixed

 The zap receipts are propagated well though 
 I figured it out

You were right, it was just a relay thing

Nostr.band had the zap receipt but the other 3 relays I was looking at didn’t

Classic relay problem
