That's the node I have running, but the documentation is so bad for beginners.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-11-08)

I am new to Cardano and have setup the [GraphQL node](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-graphql)

All is running, but my problem is I can not find proper info on how to actually get the data.
What I would like to query is asset data and smart contract data.

Lets say there is an Cardano DEX, they work with some smart contract and liquidity pool, i would like to get data on what pools and calculate a price from that.

Btw, I try to build a simple Cardano DEX tool with MERN stack.

Any help, any pointing to the right direction is welcome.

-- UPDATE --

So, lets say I need to calculate a pair price which is done from an liquidity pool of a DEX. How to get that data?
Or I want to get sell/buy orders from a DEX.

I know how this works for eth and bsc, all those have awesome documentation, but Cardano is not really made well for new coming dev's to the Cardano blockchain.
