HTTP REST requests

Neo4j Browser supports the following HTTP REST commands:

:delete — HTTP DELETE.
:get — HTTP GET.
:head — HTTP HEAD.
:post — HTTP POST.
:put — HTTP PUT.

It is possible to use these commands to query the Neo4j HTTP API.

The Neo4j REST API was deprecated in Neo4j 3.5 and was removed from Neo4j 4.X versions.

Example 1. HTTP API

:get /

{
  "bolt_routing" : "neo4j://localhost:7687",
  "transaction" : "http://localhost:7474/db/{databaseName}/tx",
  "bolt_direct" : "bolt://localhost:7687",
  "neo4j_version" : "5.13.0",
  "neo4j_edition" : "enterprise"
}

Example 2. HTTP API — transaction

:post /db/neo4j/tx

{"results":[],"errors":[],"commit":"http://localhost:7474/db/neo4j/tx/2/commit","transaction":{"expires":"Fri, 20 Jan 2222 10:11:12 GMT"}}

Example 3. HTTP API — transaction and commit

:post /db/neo4j/tx/commit {
"statements": [
{
  "statement": "CREATE (n $props) RETURN n",
  "parameters": {
    "props": {
      "name": "My Node"
    }
  }
},
{
  "statement": "CREATE (n $props) RETURN n",
  "parameters": {
    "props": {
      "name": "Another Node"
    }
  }
}]
}
