You can use the GetGraphSummary API to quickly gain a high-level understanding of your graph data, size and content. In a graph application, this API can be used to improve the search results by providing discovered node or edge labels as part of the search.
The GetGraphSummary API retrieves a read-only list of node and edge labels and property keys, along with counts of nodes, edges, and properties. The API also accepts an optional parameter named mode, which can take one of two values, namely basic (the default) and detailed. The detailed graph summary response contains two additional fields, nodeStructures and edgeStructures.
GetGraphSummary inputs
GetGraphSummary accepts two inputs:
-
graph-identifier (required) - The unique identifier of the graph.
-
mode (optional) - Can be
basicordetailed.
GetGraphSummary outputs
The response contains the following fields:
-
version- The version of this graph summary response. -
lastStatisticsComputationTime- The timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, of the time at which Neptune Analytics last computed statistics. -
graphSummary-
numNodes- The number of nodes in the graph. -
numEdges- The number of edges in the graph. -
numNodeLabels- The number of distinct node labels in the graph. -
numEdgeLabels- The number of disctinct edge labels in the graph. -
nodeLabels- List of distinct node labels in the graph. -
edgeLabels- List of distinct edge labels in the graph. -
numNodeProperties- The number of distinct node properties in the graph. -
numEdgeProperites- The number of distinct edge properties in the graph. -
nodeProperties- List of distinct node properties in the graph along with the count of nodes where each property is used. -
edgeProperties- List of distinct edge properties in the graph along with the count of edges where each property is used. -
totalNodePropertyValues- Total number of usages of all node properties. -
totalEdgePropertyValues- Total number of usages of all edge properties. -
nodeStructures(only present for mode=detailed) - Contains a list of node structures, each containing the following fields:-
count- Number of nodes that have this specific structure. -
nodeProperties- List of node properties present in this specific structure. -
distinctOutgoingEdgeLabels- List of distinct outgoing edge labels present in this specific structure.
-
-
edgeStructures(only present for mode=detailed) - Contains a list of edge structures each containing the following fields:-
count- Number of edges that have this specific structure. -
edgeProperties- List of edge properties present in this specific structure.
