Shortest Path of Vertex Sets

Function

This API is used to execute the Shortest Path of Vertex Sets algorithm based on input parameters.

This algorithm finds the shortest path between two vertex sets.

URI

POST /ges/v1.0/{project_id}/hyg/{graph_name}/algorithm

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

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
algorithmName	Yes	String	Algorithm name
parameters	Yes	parameters Object	Algorithm parameters

**Table 3** parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
sources	Yes	String	Set of start vertex IDs in the standard CSV format. IDs are separated by commas (,), for example, ["Alice","Nana"]. The number of IDs cannot exceed 100,000.
targets	Yes	String	Set of end vertex IDs in the standard CSV format. IDs are separated by commas (,), for example, ["Mike","Amy"]. The number of IDs cannot exceed 100,000.
directed	No	Boolean	Whether to consider the edge direction. The value can be true or false. The default value is false. NOTE: When the dataset does not contain incoming edges, if this parameter is set to true and an algorithm that does not depend on incoming edges is selected to calculate the output, the performance deteriorates. If this parameter is set to false, an error is reported.

Response Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
errorMessage	String	System prompt. If 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 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 the algorithm execution job. This parameter is left blank when the request fails. NOTE: You can use the returned job ID to view the task execution status and obtain the algorithm return result. For details, see Querying Job Status on the Service Plane (1.0.0).
jobType	Integer	Job type. This parameter is left blank when the request fails.
