The Explorer and GraphQL API can acces the following information about UNISWAP:
● Trading Volumes and User Activity

Trading Volumes and User Activity

Bitquery's API enables us to track trading volumes and user activity over time on UNISWAP.
This query example displays the monthly trade volume of Uniswap V3.
Open this query in the GraphQL IDE.

Understanding the query

The explanation of the query:
1. ethereum(network: ethereum): Specifies that we are querying data related to the
Ethereum blockchain.
2. dexTrades: Specifies the type of data we want to retrieve, which is trade data on
decentralized exchanges.
3. options: {asc: "date.month", limit: 100}: Sets the options for the query. It requests the
trades in ascending order based on the month and limits the results to the latest 100 trades.
4. protocol: {is: "Uniswap v3"}: Filters trades to include only those that occurred on the
Uniswap v3 protocol.
Inside the dexTrades block, it retrieves the following information:
● count: The total count of trades that match the specified criteria.
● tradeAmount(in: USD): The total trade amount converted to USD.
● protocol: The protocol name (Uniswap v3).
● date: The date information for each trade, including the month and year.

The result
The query helps you obtain statistical information about the trades on the Uniswap v3 protocol,
including:
● the total count
● total trade amount in USD
