Querying General Information About a Graph

Function

This API is used to query the general information about a graph, such as the numbers of vertices and edges.

URI

GET /ges/v1.0/{project_id}/graphs/{graph_name}/summary?label_details={labelDetails}

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

label_details

No

Boolean

Whether to return the number of vertices and edges under each label. The default value is false. If this parameter is set to true, the numbers of vertices and edges under each label are returned.

  • To return the count of vertices under different labels, when creating a vertex index, set the index type to GlobalCompositeVertexIndex, ensure that hasLabel is true, and keep the property list empty. Refer to Creating an Index for detailed instructions on how to create an index.
  • To return the count of edges under different labels, when creating an edge index, set the index type to GlobalCompositeEdgeIndex, ensure that hasLabel is true, and keep the property list empty. Refer to Creating an Index for detailed instructions on how to create an index.

Response Parameters

Table 2 Response body parameter descriptions

Parameter

Type

Description

errorMessage

String

System prompt.

  • If execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank.
  • If execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error message.

errorCode

String

System prompt.

  • If execution succeeds, this parameter may be left blank.
  • If execution fails, this parameter is used to display the error code.

jobId

String

ID of an asynchronous job

The API for querying the job ID is called to check the task execution status and obtain the returned result. For details, see Querying Job Status on the Service Plane (1.0.0). For details about the calling result parameters, see Table 3.

Table 3 data parameter descriptions

Parameter

Type

Description

vertexNum

Integer

Number of vertices in a graph. In multi-label scenarios, the value is repeatedly counted based on the number of label occurrences. To count the actual number of vertices, run the match (n) where n is not null return count(*) statement.

edgeNum

Integer

Number of edges in a graph

labelDetails

Object

Numbers of vertices and edges under each label. This parameter is available only when label_details in the URL is set to true.

Table 4 Description of each element in labelDetails when the execution is successful

Parameter

Type

Description

labelInVertex

Object

Numbers of vertices under each label.

labelInEdge

Object

Numbers of edges under each label.

errorMessage

String

System prompt.

When there is no vertex index or edge index, an error message is displayed. Otherwise, the field remains empty.

errorCode

String

System prompt.

When there is no vertex index or edge index, an error code is displayed. Otherwise, the field remains empty.

Example Request

Query general information about a graph, such as the numbers of vertices and edges. The value true indicates that the numbers of vertices and edges of different labels are returned.

GET http://{SERVER_URL}/ges/v1.0/{project_id}/graphs/{graph_name}/summary?label_details=true

SERVER_URL: Address for accessing a graph. For details about its value, see Using Service Plane APIs.
