Edge Betweenness Centrality

Function

This API is used to execute the Edge Betweenness Centrality algorithm based on input parameters.

The Edge Betweenness Centrality algorithm calculates shortest paths that pass through an edge.

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
directed	No	Boolean	Whether to consider the edge direction. The value can be true or false. The default value is false.
weight	No	String	Weight of an edge. The value can be empty or a string. Empty: The default weight and distance of edges are 1. String: The property of the edge is the weight. If the edge does not have a property, the weight is 1 by default.
seeds	No	String	Vertex ID. The number of vertices cannot be greater than 100,000. If the graph is large, betweenness calculation can be slow. You can set seeds to the sampling nodes for approximate calculation. The more seeds nodes, the closer results to the accurate calculation.
k	No	Integer	Number of samples. The value is less than or equal to 100000. If the graph is large, betweenness calculation can be slow. You can set k to randomly select k sampling vertices from the graph. The larger value, the closer results to the accurate calculation.

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.
