Get Edges From Node

Overview

The Get Edges From Node endpoint allows you to discover all outgoing connections from a specific node in your graph. This operation is essential for understanding how a node connects to other nodes, analyzing outgoing relationship patterns, and building comprehensive node connectivity profiles.

Key capabilities include:

Finding all edges that originate from a specific node
Analyzing outgoing relationship patterns and connection types
Discovering all nodes that are directly connected from the source node
Building node connectivity profiles and relationship maps
Supporting graph traversal and outgoing path analysis

Get Edges From Node

Retrieve all outgoing edges from a specific node using GET: /v1.0/tenants/{tenant-guid}/graphs/{graph-guid}/nodes/{node-guid}/edges/from. This endpoint returns all edges that originate from the specified node, allowing you to analyze the node's outgoing connections and understand its role in the graph structure.

curl --location 'http://localhost:8701/v1.0/tenants/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/graphs/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nodes/1f56dc61-55d3-48e3-b4a9-d54b864f1763/edges/from' \

import { LiteGraphSdk } from "litegraphdb";

var api = new LiteGraphSdk(
  "http://localhost:8701/",
  "<Tenant-Guid>",
  "*******"
);

const getEdgesFromNode = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await api.Route.getEdgesFromNode(graphGuid, nodeGuid);
    console.log(data, "check data");
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("err:", JSON.stringify(err), err);
  }
};

import litegraph

sdk = litegraph.configure(
    endpoint="http://localhost:8701",
    tenant_guid="Tenant-Guid",
    access_key="******",
)

def get_edges_from_node():
    edges = litegraph.RouteNodes.get_edges_from(graph_guid="graph-guid", node_guid="node-guid")
    print(edges)

Best Practices

When retrieving edges from a node, consider the following recommendations:

Validate Node GUID: Ensure the source node GUID exists before making requests
Handle Empty Results: Implement proper handling for nodes with no outgoing edges

Next Steps

After retrieving edges from a node, you can:

Analyze the node's outgoing relationship patterns and connection types
Build comprehensive node connectivity profiles and relationship maps
Implement graph traversal algorithms for outgoing path analysis
Create node relationship visualization interfaces
Perform outgoing connectivity analysis and network topology studies
Develop node-based recommendation systems and relationship discovery
