URL: http://<db.host>:<db.port>/query/graph
Employs a topological query on a graph generated a-priori by /create/graph and returns a list of adjacent edge(s) or node(s), also known as an adjacency list, depending on what’s been provided to the endpoint; providing edges will return nodes and providing nodes will return edges. To determine the node(s) or edge(s) adjacent to a value from a given column, provide a list of values to input parameter queries. This field can be populated with column values from any table as long as the type is supported by the given identifier. See Query Identifiers for more information. To return the adjacency list in the response, leave input parameter adjacency_table empty. IMPORTANT: It’s highly recommended that you review the Graphs and Solvers concepts documentation, the Graph REST Tutorial, and/or some /match/graph examples before using this endpoint.

Input Parameter Description

graph_name
string
Name of the graph resource to query.
queries
array of strings
Nodes or edges to be queried specified using query identifiers. Identifiers can be used with existing column names, e.g., ‘table.column AS QUERY_NODE_ID’, raw values, e.g., ‘{0, 2} AS QUERY_NODE_ID’, or expressions, e.g., ‘ST_MAKEPOINT(table.x, table.y) AS QUERY_NODE_WKTPOINT’. Multiple values can be provided as long as the same identifier is used for all values. If using raw values in an identifier combination, the number of values specified must match across the combination.
restrictions
array of strings
Additional restrictions to apply to the nodes/edges of an existing graph. Restrictions must be specified using identifiers; identifiers are grouped as combinations. Identifiers can be used with existing column names, e.g., ‘table.column AS RESTRICTIONS_EDGE_ID’, expressions, e.g., ‘column/2 AS RESTRICTIONS_VALUECOMPARED’, or raw values, e.g., ‘{0, 0, 0, 1} AS RESTRICTIONS_ONOFFCOMPARED’. If using raw values in an identifier combination, the number of values specified must match across the combination.The default value is an empty array ( [] ).
adjacency_table
string
Name of the table to store the resulting adjacencies, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules and meeting table naming criteria. If left blank, the query results are instead returned in the response. If the ‘QUERY_TARGET_NODE_LABEL’ query identifier is used in input parameter queries, then two additional columns will be available: ‘PATH_ID’ and ‘RING_ID’. See Using Labels for more information.The default value is ”.
rings
int
Sets the number of rings around the node to query for adjacency, with ‘1’ being the edges directly attached to the queried node. Also known as number of hops. For example, if it is set to ‘2’, the edge(s) directly attached to the queried node(s) will be returned; in addition, the edge(s) attached to the node(s) attached to the initial ring of edge(s) surrounding the queried node(s) will be returned. If the value is set to ‘0’, any nodes that meet the criteria in input parameter queries and input parameter restrictions will be returned. This parameter is only applicable when querying nodes.The default value is 1.
options
map of string to strings
Additional parameters.The default value is an empty map ( {} ).

Output Parameter Description

The Kinetica server embeds the endpoint response inside a standard response structure which contains status information and the actual response to the query. Here is a description of the various fields of the wrapper:
status
String
‘OK’ or ‘ERROR’
message
String
Empty if success or an error message
data_type
String
‘query_graph_response’ or ‘none’ in case of an error
data
String
Empty string
data_str
JSON or String
This embedded JSON represents the result of the /query/graph endpoint:Empty string in case of an error.
