Get Edges To Node

Overview

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

Key capabilities include:

Finding all edges that terminate at a specific node
Analyzing incoming relationship patterns and connection types
Discovering all nodes that are directly connected to the target node
Building node connectivity profiles and relationship maps
Supporting graph traversal and incoming path analysis

Get Edges To Node

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

curl --location 'http://localhost:8701/v1.0/tenants/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/graphs/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nodes/64058009-3ff7-40e0-b6d8-02252137fb55/edges/to' \
--header 'Authorization: ••••••'

import { LiteGraphSdk } from "litegraphdb";

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

const getEdgesToNode = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await api.Route.getEdgesToNode(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_to_node():
    edges = litegraph.RouteNodes.get_edges_to(graph_guid="graph-guid", node_guid="node-guid")
    print(edges)

Best Practices

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

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

Next Steps

After retrieving edges to a node, you can:

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