Overview

The Get Node Neighbors endpoint allows you to discover all neighbor nodes directly connected to a specific node in your graph. This operation is essential for understanding immediate node connectivity, analyzing relationship patterns, and building comprehensive neighbor relationship profiles.

Key capabilities include:

Finding all neighbor nodes connected to a specific node
Analyzing immediate connectivity patterns and relationship types
Discovering all nodes that are directly adjacent to the target node
Building comprehensive neighbor relationship profiles and connectivity maps
Supporting immediate graph traversal and neighbor analysis

Get Node Neighbors

Retrieve all neighbor nodes connected to a specific node using GET: /v1.0/tenants/{tenant-guid}/graphs/{graph-guid}/nodes/{node-guid}/neighbors. This endpoint returns all nodes that are directly connected to the specified node, allowing you to analyze the immediate connectivity profile and understand the node's role in the graph structure.

Best Practices

When retrieving node neighbors, 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 neighbors

Next Steps
