Updating Specified Properties of Vertices and Edges by Importing a File (2.2.13)

Function

This API is used to update specified properties of vertices and edges by importing a file.

To prevent failures in restoring the updated graph data during system restarting, do not delete the data stored on OBS when the graph is in use.

URI

POST /ges/v1.0/{project_id}/graphs/{graph_name}/action?action_id=import-properties

**Table 1** URI parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID. For details about how to obtain a project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
graph_name	Yes	String	Graph name.

Request Parameters

The format of the CSV file for updating properties is as follows:

Vertex file (including label): vertex ID,label,property_1...property_n
Vertex file (excluding label): vertex ID,property_1...property_n
Edge file: source vertex ID, target vertex ID, label, edge ID, property_1...property_n

**Table 2** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
vertexsetPath	At least one of the parameters vertexsetPath and edgesetPath is mandatory.	String	Vertex file directory or name.
vertexsetFormat	No	String	Vertex dataset format. Currently, the options are csv and txt. The default value is csv.
vertexProperties	Mandatory if vertexsetPath exists	Object	Label of a vertex and list of properties to be updated in a vertex file, in JSONArray format. For details, see Table 3.
edgesetPath	At least one of the parameters vertexsetPath and edgesetPath is mandatory.	String	Edge file directory or name.
edgesetFormat	No	String	Edge dataset format. Currently, the options are csv and txt. The default value is csv.
edgeProperties	Mandatory if edgesetPath is set.	Object	Label of an edge and list of properties to be updated in an edge file, in JSONArray format For details, see Table 4.
targetProperties	Mandatory if edgesetPath is set.	Object	Property information used to distinguish duplicate edges in the edge file, in JSONArray format. For details, see Table 5.
delimiter	No	Character	Field separator in a CSV file. The default value is comma (,). The default element separator in a field of the list/set type is semicolon (;).
trimQuote	No	Character	Field quote character in a CSV file. The default value is double quotation marks ("). They are used to enclose a field if the field contains separators or line breaks.
obsParameters	Yes	String	OBS authentication parameters. For details, see Table 6.
vertexFileContainLabel	No	Boolean	Whether the vertex file contains label information. This parameter is optional. The default value is true.

**Table 3** vertexProperties parameter descriptions
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
label	Yes	String	Label name.
properties	Yes	Object	Properties to be updated, in JSONArray format. The sequence of the properties must be the same as that in the vertex file.

**Table 4** edgeProperties parameter descriptions
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
label	Yes	String	Label name.
properties	Yes	Object	Properties to be updated, in JSONArray format. The sequence of the properties must be the same as that in the edge file.

**Table 5** targetProperties parameter descriptions
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
label	Yes	String	Label name.
properties	Yes	Object	Edge ID properties, in JSONArray format. Currently, only one property is supported.

**Table 6** obsParameters parameter descriptions
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
accessKey	Yes	String	Access key ID.
secretKey	Yes	String	Secret access key.

Response Parameters

**Table 7** Response body parameters
Parameter	Type	Description
errorMessage	String	System prompt. If the execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank. If the execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error message.
errorCode	String	System prompt. If the execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank. If the execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error code.
jobId	String	ID of an asynchronous job. NOTE: You can check the job execution status and obtain the return result by querying the job ID. For details, see Job Management APIs.
jobType	Integer	Job type. This parameter is left blank if the request fails.

Example Request
