In this lab, we will query a Neo4j graph database using with Cypher language and Python. Neo4j is a highly scalable, native graph database purpose-built to leverage not only data but also its relationships. Cypher is a declarative graph query language that allows for expressive and efficient querying and updating of the graph store.
In [1]: # Use the following to get the neo4j database password from the user import getpass
print (Give me your neo4j password:) neopass = getpass.getpass()
#print (You typed:, neopass)
Give me your neo4j password:
In [2]: from neo4j import GraphDatabase
# More information on neo4j python API at:
# http://neo4j.com/docs/api/python-driver/current/
#Connect to the database uri = bolt://localhost:7687 #auth=(neo4j, neopass) driver = GraphDatabase.driver(uri, auth=(neo4j, neopass))
#Start new session session = driver.session()
#Start new transaction transaction = session.begin_transaction()
