Can someone explains me about Liquid Network

I'm trying to integrate liquid network with my node.js application. Such that i want to create liquid wallet address, send a transaction from 1:1 on liquid network and check balance for that wallet address.

The only useful thing i found was to use bitfnex or other exchanges but they don't allow to create wallet addresses just deposit addresses.

So anyone can guide me regarding this, Do i need my own node for this and how to achieve this.
