Updating Edge Properties (1.1.6)

Function

This API is used to update edge property values. The operations include ADD, UPDATE, and DEL.

URI

POST /ges/v1.0/{project_id}/graphs/{graph_name}/edges/properties/action?action_id={actionId}&source={sourceVertex}&target={targetVertex}&index={index}

**Table 1** URI parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
graph_name	Yes	String	Graph name
actionId	Yes	String	Operator. Possible values: update: Update a property value. add: Add a property value. When the property's cardinality is single, the operation is the same as that of UPDATE. When cardinality is list or set, the operator adds a value to a set. del: Delete a property value.
sourceVertex	Yes	String	Source vertex of an edge
targetVertex	Yes	String	Target vertex of an edge
index	No	Integer	Edge index. If this parameter is not set, properties of the first edge between the vertices will be modified.

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
properties	Yes	Object	Value of each property
targetProperties	No	Array	Properties used to determine duplicate edges. If this parameter is not left blank, other properties of duplicate edges (with the same source vertex and target vertex) that has the same property value as the input property value will be overwritten. If there are multiple specified properties, the properties of the first edge that is matched based on the property input sequence are modified. If this parameter is left blank or no property is specified for the input edge, the first edge that meets the criteria is updated. For details about the property elements, see Table 3.

**Table 3** **targetProperty** parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
label	Yes	String	Label name. The label of duplicate edges is determined by the property.
properties	Yes	Array	Value of each property. The property list of duplicate edges is determined by the property. Currently, only a single property is supported. If multiple properties are entered, the first property is used.

Example Request

Update the property value of an edge. The value of property Rating is 7, the value of property Datetime is 2020-12-27 23:44:41, and the label name is rate.

POST http://{SERVER_URL}/ges/v1.0/{project_id}/graphs/{graph_name}/edges/properties/action?action_id=update&source=Lily&target=Tom&index=1
