This page is an updated version of the REST API endpoints which were avaiable in TigerGraph 3.x. TigerGraph 4.1+ adds many new endpoints to the GSQL server which were not available in TigerGraph 3.x. For these new endpoints, see xref:API:gsql-endpoints.adoc.
REST Server Ports
For all TigerGraph Cloud solutions created on or after June 20, 2022, use port 443 for REST endpoints. In 4.1.0 and later versions, for all TigerGraph Server solutions not on TigerGraph Cloud, port 9000 is no longer exposed. Please use port 14240 instead. |
System Utilities
Echo
GET restpp/echo
POST restpp/echo
These endpoints are simple diagnostic utilities, which respond with the following message if the RESTPP server is up and running.
Health check (public)
GET /api/ping
This endpoint performs a simple server health check. It listens on port 14240 and does not require authentication. If you ping it and the server is running, it will respond with the message "pong".
List all endpoints
GET /restpp/endpoints/{graph_name}
This endpoint returns a list of the installed endpoints and their parameters. There are three types of endpoints:
-
Built-in endpoints which are preinstalled in the TigerGraph system
-
Dynamic endpoints which are generated when compiling GSQL queries
-
Static endpoints which are user-installed endpoints
To include one or more of the endpoint types in the output, include the endpoint type in the parameter query string and set its value to true
. If no type parameters are provided, all endpoints are returned.
curl -X GET "http://localhost:14240/restpp/endpoints?builtin=true" | jq .
Response
There are over a dozen built-in endpoints, and some have several parameters, so the formatted JSON output of all built-in endpoints is over 300 lines long. It is listed in full in Appendix A. Below is a small excerpt of the output:
"GET /endpoints": {
"parameters": {
"builtin": {
"default": "false",
"max_count": 1,
"min_count": 0,
"type": "BOOL"
},
"dynamic": {
"default": "false",
"max_count": 1,
"min_count": 0,

Monitor system metrics (OpenMetrics format)
GET /informant/metrics
POST /informant/metrics
Server: Informant
This endpoint returns system metrics regarding CPU usage, memory usage, network usage, diskspace, service status, or engine QPS data in OpenMetrics format, allowing you to integrate this endpoint with observability platforms such as Datadog or Prometheus.
Metrics are updated every 60 seconds by default.
This interval can be adjusted with the System.Metrics
parameters.
This endpoint does not require any privileges.
Total and Available Capacity
Beginning with Version 3.10.2, the metrics output will include additional information, about both the total and the available (unallocated) amount of CPU and memory capacity, per node. This is in addition to the information about how much is currently being used.
For example:
# HELP tigergraph_cpu_available Percentage of available CPU capacity # TYPE tigergraph_cpu_available gauge tigergraph_cpu_available{host_id="m1",service_name=""} 98.2397232055664 # HELP tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total Total number of logical CPU cores of a node # TYPE tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total gauge tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total{host_id="m1",service_name=""} 8 # HELP tigergraph_cpu_available Percentage of available CPU capacity # TYPE tigergraph_cpu_available gauge tigergraph_cpu_available{host_id="m1",service_name=""} 98.2397232055664 # HELP tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total Total number of logical CPU cores of a node # TYPE tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total gauge tigergraph_cpu_logical_cores_total{host_id="m1",service_name=""} 8
The total number of CPU logical cores and the available memory are included in the summary section.
Including the Host Name
As of verison 3.10.1, if the configuration parameter System.Metrics.IncludeHostName
is set to true
, the hostname/ip will be included in all metrics output, in OpenMetrics format, as part of the variable labels.
Otherwise, the default is false
and the response will not include hostname/ip as part of the variable labels.

Show service status
POST /informant/current-service-status
Server: informant
This endpoint returns the status of the TigerGraph services specified in the request.
Request body:
The endpoint requires a request body in the following format:
{
"ServiceDescriptors": [ (1)
{
"ServiceName": <service_name>, (2)
"Partition": <partition_number>, (3)
"Replica": <replica_number> (4)
}
... (5)
]
}
1 | ServiceDescriptors is a required field.
It is a list of objects with keys ServiceName , and optionally Partition and Replica . |
2 | Required field.
The name of the service to return status on.
Below are the accepted values for the field and their corresponding services:
|
3 | Optional. Number of the partition to request service status on. If not provided, the response will contain service status on all partitions. |
4 | Optional. Number of the replica to request service status on. If not provided, the response will contain service status on all replicas. |
5 | You can supply more than one service descriptor. The response from the endpoint will contain all service status requested. |
Return value
The return value contains the status for every service descriptor in the request.
The most important information is in the ServiceStatus
and ProcessState
fields:
{
"ServiceStatusEvents": [
{
"EventMeta": {
"Targets": [
{
"ServiceName": "IFM"
}
],
"EventId": "154e8f53716b403eb02af19d863745c6",

"ServiceDescriptor": { (1)
"ServiceName": "GPE",
"Replica": 1,
"Partition": 2
},
"ServiceStatus": "Online", (2)
"ProcessState": "Running" (3)
}
]
}
1 | The service descriptor for the status being returned. |
2 | The last recorded status of the service. |
3 | The last recorded state of the Linux process behind the service. It’s possible for a process to be running without being served or able to respond to requests. For example, when TigerGraph is starting up, GPE is in the "Warmup" state and cannot respond to requests, but the process is still running. |

Rebuild graph engine
GET /restpp/rebuildnow/{graph_name}
POST /restpp/rebuildnow/{graph_name}
Required privilege: Graph-level READ DATA
When new data is being loaded into the graph (such as new vertices or edges), data is first stored in memory before it is saved to disk permanently. TigerGraph runs a rebuild of the Graph Processing Engine (GPE) to commit the data in memory to disk every 30 seconds, but you can also call this endpoint to trigger a rebuild immediately.
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
Number of threads used to execute the rebuild. If
not specified, the number specified in the |
|
No |
Vertex type to perform the rebuild for. If not provided, the rebuild will be run for all the vertex types. |
|
No |
Segment ID of the segments to rebuild. If not provided, all segments will be rebuilt. In general, it is recommended not to provide this parameter and rebuild all segments. |
|
No |
Path to save the summary of the rebuild to. If not provided, the default path is |
|
No |
Boolean value that indicates whether to perform rebuilds for segments for which there are no records of new data. Normally, a rebuild would skip such segments, but if |

Check deleted vertices
GET /restpp/deleted_vertex_check
Required privilege: Graph-level READ DATA
In certain rare cases, TigerGraph’s Graph Processing Engine (GPE) and Graph Storage Engine (GSE) might be out of sync on vertex deletion information. When this happens, some vertices might exist on one of the components, but not the other. Even though these errors are exceedingly rare, TigerGraph provides an endpoint that allows you to check the deleted vertices on GSE and GPE to see if they are out of sync.
The check passes if there are no discrepancies between the GSE and GPE in terms of deleted vertices. If there is a discrepancy, the check fails and the return result will contain the IDs of the deleted vertices that are not synced properly. If you are running TigerGraph on a distributed cluster, the check will be performed on each node of the cluster, and the endpoint will return a list containing the results of the check for every node.
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
Integer that indicates the number of threads used to execute the deleted vertex check jobs. The default value is 6. |
|
No |
IDs of segments to perform the deleted vertex check for. If none is provided, the check will be performed on all segments. |
|
No |
Vertex types to perform the deleted vertex check for. If none is provided, the check will be performed on all vertex types. |
|
No |
Integer that indicates the level of detail in the return results. Here is a list of accepted values and their corresponding level of detail:
|
|
No |
Integer that indicates the log level of the deleted vertex
check. This log is not returned in the endpoint’s HTTP response, but is
printed to the logs of the GPE component at

Authentication
As of 4.1.0, the use of plaintext tokens in authentication is deprecated.
Use |
Remove expired tokens
DELETE /expiredtoken
Server: GSQL
This endpoint removes expired authentication tokens.
A user is always allowed to remove their own expired tokens.
If a user tries to delete tokens that belong to other users, they need to have the WRITE_USER
privilege.
Sample request:
The following request deletes all expired tokens.
This request requires the privilege WRITE_USER
:
curl -X DELETE "https://localhost:14240/expiredtoken"
The following request deletes all expired tokens that belong to users u1
and u2
as well as all tokens created with secrets s1
and s2
.
This request requires the privilege WRITE_USER
curl -X DELETE 'localhost:14240/expiredtoken' -d '{"user":["u1","u2"],"secret":["s1","s2"]}'
Request body:
The request body is optional. If not provided a request body, a request deletes all expired tokens.
{
"user": ["string"], (1)
"secret": ["string"] (2)
}
1 | Users whose expired tokens to remove. Optional. |
2 | If a token is created with one of the secrets in the list, they are removed by the request. Optional. |
The secrets and users provided in the request body do not have to correlate with each other. A request deletes all tokens associated with any of the users and secrets contained in the payload.
The request is atomic: if any of the provided users or secrets are invalid, or if a user doesn’t have the privilege to remove tokens that belong to one of the users or secrets provided, no tokens will be removed by the request.
Loading jobs
Run a Loading Job
POST /restpp/ddl/{graph_name}
Required privilege: Graph-level EXECUTE_LOADINGJOB
This endpoint is for loading data into a graph. It submits data as an HTTP request payload, to be loaded into the graph by the DDL Loader. The data payload can be formatted as generic CSV or JSON. For more details, please see GSQL Language Reference Part 1 - Defining Graphs and Loading Data.
If the loading job references multiple files, multiple HTTP requests are needed to complete the loading job since you can only provide data for one filename variable at a time. The loading job will skip the LOAD
statements referencing filename variables that the request didn’t provide data for.
To provide data for a filename variable, put the data in the request body and use the filename
parameter (explained in the parameter table below) to match the variable name defined in the loading job.
Request body:
The request body is the data to be loaded (either in CSV or JSON format).
Curl allows you to read the data from an input file by using the @ symbol:
curl -X POST --data-binary @./company.csv "http://…"
Sample request:
In this example, the loading job is dependent on three filename variables (f1
and f3
) and one filepath string. Therefore, three HTTP requests are needed to complete the loading job.
# Loading job
CREATE LOADING JOB load_data for GRAPH poc_graph {
DEFINE FILENAME f1;
DEFINE FILENAME f3;
LOAD f1 to VERTEX person VALUES ($0, $0);
LOAD "/home/data/company.csv" to VERTEX company VALUES ($0, $0);
LOAD f3 to EDGE work_at VALUES ($0, $1, $3, $4, $5);
}
# Provide data for for the second LOAD statement

Loading job name defined in your DDL loading job |
|
Yes |
File variable name or file path for the file containing the data |
|
No |
Whether to skip loading the header line of the file or not. The value should be either true or false. The default value is false. |
|
No |
Separator of CSV data. If your data is JSON, you do not need to specify this parameter. The default separator is a comma |
|
No |
End-of-line character. Only one or two characters are allowed, except for the special case "\r\n". The default value is |
|
No |
|
|
No |
Timeout in seconds. If set to 0, use system-wide endpoint timeout setting. |
|
No |
Boolean value that indicates whether to return concise results of the data loading request. Concise results will only include the number of vertices and edges added or deleted, and will omit information such as the number of valid and invalid lines in the default response. |
If there are special characters in your parameter values, the special characters should use URL encoding. To avoid confusion about whether you should you one or two backslashes, we do not support backslash escapes for the eol
or sep
parameter.
The maximum size of data you can upload via this endpoint is controlled by the Nginx.ClientMaxBodySize
configuration parameter (default is 200 MB).

Queries
Get query metadata
GET /gsql/v1/queries/info
Returns metadata details about a query.
In particular, it lists the input parameters in the same order as they exist in the query (in the form of a JSON array of JSON objects) and outputs PRINT
statement syntax.
This endpoint exists on port 14240 and requests are sent to the GSQL server.
Therefore, you should provide authentication credentials in the request.
Sample request:
curl -u tigergraph:tigergraph -X GET "http://localhost:14240/gsql/v1/queries/info?graph=workNet&query=to_vertex_setTest"
{

}
The JSON response object contains three fields:
-
queryname
: name of the query, same as the query input parameter. -
input
: Ordered list of the input parameter names and data types in the same order as they are in the query. -
output
: JSON object that follows the same structure of the query’s output. For each key-value pair, the key is the name that appears in the query output, while the values are the data types of the output.
Install a query
POST /gsql/v1/queries/install
Once queries has been created for a graph, the user can use the POST /gsql/v1/queries/install
endpoint to make a request to install one or multiple queries.
Once the GSQL server has received the POST
request, it creates an installation request and returns a request location containing a request ID, with which you can check the installation status of all the queries in the request.
An installation request will wait in the background for any currently running processes to complete.
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
Yes |
The name of the graph the queries belong to |
|
Yes |
The names of the queries to install.
If To pass in the names of multiple queries, enter the same parameter multiple times with the names of the queries you want to install. |
Sample request:
In the below example, the user requests to install all queries on the graph poc_graph
by using the *
wildcard.
curl --user tigergraph:tigergraph -X POST 'http://localhost:14240/gsql/v1/queries/install?graph=social&queries=khop_d'
{
"location": "/gsql/queries/install/1234", (1)
"error": false,
"message": "Request 1234 successfully created",
"results": ""
}
1 | URI where the request can be found.
1234 is the ID of the request. |
Check query installation status
GET /gsql/v1/queries/install/{request_id}
This endpoint takes a request location generated by the POST /gsql/v1/queries/install
endpoint and returns the state of the installation request for each query, as well as the overall state of the request itself.
Sample request:
In the below example, the user requests information about the queries installed in the above POST
example.
The response shows that three query install requests were made with POST
: queries t1
, t2
, and t3
.
At the time of response, t1
had installed successfully, while the other two were still running in the background.
curl --user tigergraph:tigergraph -X GET 'http://localhost:14240/gsql/v1/queries/install/1234'
{
"state": "RUNNING", (1)
"error": false,
"message": "",
"results": "",
"queries": [
{
"name": "t1",
"state": "SUCCESS"
},
{
"name": "t2",
"state": "RUNNING"
},
{
"name": "t3",
"state": "RUNNING"
}
],
"graph": "poc_graph"
}
1 | The installation request state shown with state shows the overall status of the query installation request.
It will return SUCCESS even if some queries fail to install, as long as each query has been given a chance to install.
If the overall status is SUCCESS but each query has failed, it indicates that something is wrong with the queries.
If the overall status is FAILURE , it indicates that something is wrong with the installation job itself independent of the queries.
It will return NEW if the query installation request has been made, but the resource manager is occupied with another request at the time the user made the overall status request. |
If you install all queries and receive a state of |
Run an installed query (GET
)
GET /restpp/query/{graph_name}/{query_name}
Each time a new TigerGraph query is installed, a dynamic endpoint is generated.
This new endpoint enables the user to run the new TigerGraph query through HTTP requests and giving the parameters in URL or in a data payload.
In the case of a GET
request, parameters should be passed in through the query string.
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
Boolean value that indicates whether to use read-committed isolation level for the query. At the read committed level, it is guaranteed that any data read is committed at the moment it is read. By default, it is off. |

Query parameter passing
When using a GET
request to run an installed query, the query parameters are passed in through the query string of the URL.
Parameter type | Query string format | Example |
---|---|---|
Set or bag of primitives |
Assign multiple values to the same parameter name. |
A set |
|

Specify replica
If you have a TigerGraph HA cluster, you can specify a query to run on a particular replica with the HTTP header GSQL-REPLICA
.
The value of the header needs to be an integer within the range [1, (cluster replication factor)]
.
If you supply an invalid value for the header, the request will return an error.
Specify thread limit
When running a query through RESTPP, you can specify a limit on the number of threads that the query is allowed to use on each node through the HTTP header GSQL-THREAD-LIMIT
.
The number of threads used by a query means the number of vCPUs used by the query. By default, a query will use all threads that are available on a machine.
For example, if you have a cluster of three nodes, each with 8 vCPUs, then a query will use all 8 threads available on a node in the cluster by default. By providing a thread limit in the request header, you can limit the query to only use a number of threads under the limit.
Sample requests:
To run a query that takes a parameter of a set of strings (str
), a vertex parameter(v), and a parameter of a set of vertices:
CREATE QUERY print_params(SET<STRING> str, VERTEX v, SET<VERTEX> party)
FOR GRAPH Social {
PRINT str, v, party;
}
To pass in the value for a set parameter, enter the values of all set elements to the name of the parameter multiple times.
If the type of a vertex is not specified, specify it by adding a parameter <typeName>.type
and specify the type:
$ curl -X GET "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/print_params?str=hello&str=world&v=Mary&party=Tobias&party=Jenny&party.type=person&v.type=person"
To run query hello
on a graph named social
, and the query parameter is of type VERTEX<person>
whose ID is "Tom"
curl -X GET "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello?p=Tom"
curl -x GET -H "GSQL-THREAD-LIMIT: 4" "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello?p=Tom"
curl -X GET -H "GSQL-REPLICA: 2" "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello?p=Tom"
curl -X GET -H "GSQL-REPLICA: 1" "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello?p=Tom"
Run an installed query (POST
)
POST /restpp/query/{graph_name}/{query_name}
Users can also run queries through a POST
request, which allows them to pass query parameters in JSON format.
This is especially helpful when the query takes complex parameters.
Format of POST request
curl -X POST --data-binary @./<sample_file> "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/<sample_graph>/<sample_query>"
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
Boolean value that indicates whether to use read-committed isolation level for the query. At the read committed level, it is guaranteed that any data read is committed at the moment it is read. By default, it is off. |
Query parameter Passing
When using a POST
request to run an installed query, the query parameters are passed in through the request body and encoded in JSON format.
The formatting rules for the JSON payload are the same as using JSON to pass in parameters in the RUN QUERY
command.
Parameter type | Syntax | Example |
---|---|---|
|
Use a string formatted as |
|
Set or bag of primitives |
Use a JSON array containing the primitive values |
|
|
Use a JSON object containing a field |
|
|
Use a JSON object containing a field
|
|
Set or bag of |
Use a JSON array containing a list of
JSON |
|
Set or bag of vertices of unspecified types |
Use a JSON array
containing a list of JSON |
|
Headers
The Run Query endpoint accepts a number of headers that allow you to configure the way the query is run:
Name | Description |
---|---|
|
The replica where the query is to be run. The value of the header needs to be an integer within the range 1 to the replication factor of the cluster. If you supply an invalid value for the header, the request returns an error. A cluster that has only one copy of the database has a replication factor of 1. |
|
Maximum limit on the number of threads that the query is allowed to use on each node. By default, a query will use all threads that are available on a machine. For example, if you have a cluster of three nodes, each with 8 vCPUs, then a query will use all 8 threads available on a node in the cluster by default. By providing a thread limit in the request header, you can limit the query to only use a number of threads under the limit. |
|
Maximum limit of how much memory a query is allowed to use on any single node in a cluster. By default, there is no limit to the amount of memory a query is allowed to consume until the overall free memory reaches a critical level. |
Sample request:
To run a query that takes a parameter of a set of strings (str
), a vertex parameter(v), and a parameter of a set of vertices (party
):
CREATE QUERY print_params(SET<STRING> str, VERTEX v, SET<VERTEX<Person>> party) FOR GRAPH Social {
PRINT str, v, party;
}
$ curl -X POST -d @<path_to_request_body> ""http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/Social/print_params"
{
"v": {"id": "Jenny", "type": "Person"}, (1)
"str": ["hello", "world"], (2)
"party": [
{"id": "Mary"},
{"id": "Tobias}
] (3)
}
1 | Provides the value for parameter v , which is a Person type vertex with ID Jenny .
The type field is required because the original query definition does not specify vertex type. |
2 | Provides the value for parameter str , which is a set of strings with two elements "hello" and "world" . |
3 | Provides the value for parameter party , which is a set of Person type vertices.
The type field is optional for the vertex elements in the set because the original query definition specifies vertex type. |
The query in this sample request takes a parameter of type VERTEX<person>
:
curl -X POST -d '{"p":{"id":"Tom","type":"person"}}'
"http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello"
curl -X POST -H "GSQL-REPLICA: 2" -d '{"p":{"id":"Tom","type":"person"}}'
"http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello"
curl -X POST -H "GSQL-REPLICA: 1" -d '{"p":{"id":"Tom","type":"person"}}'
"http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello"
curl -X POST -H "GSQL-THREAD-LIMIT: 4" -d '{"p":{"id":"Tom","type":"person"}}' "http://localhost:14240/restpp/query/social/hello"
Installed queries can run in Detached Mode.
To do this, use the |
Run an interpreted query
POST /gsql/v1/queries/interpret
This endpoint runs a GSQL query in Interpreted Mode. The query body should be supplied at the data payload, and the query’s parameters are supplied as the URL’s query string. This endpoint exists on the GSQL server on port 14240.
This request goes directly to the GSQL server (port 14240) instead of the RESTPP server, so the username and password must be specified in the header. If you are using curl, you can use the -u
option as shown below.
Parameter passing:
When running an interpreted query through this endpoint, the query parameters should be passed in through the URL query string.
List running queries of a graph
GET /restpp/showprocesslist/{graph_name}
This endpoint reports statistics of running queries of a graph: the query’s request ID, start time, expiration time, and the REST endpoint’s URL. This includes installed queries. interpreted queries, as well as built-in queries.
If you are running a TigerGraph cluster, this endpoint only shows queries running on the node to which the request is sent, not all running queries on the cluster.
This endpoint requires the READ_DATA
privilege on the graph you are querying.

Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
The ID of the query to abort. It can take a single query ID or the string |
|
No |
The endpoint whose running queries to abort. You must specify the base of the endpoint’s URL, but then use a wildcard to allow for different parameters. For example, to abort all running queries for the endpoint |
Check query status (Detached Mode)
GET /restpp/query_status
This endpoint allows you to check the status of a query run in detached mode.
If you are running a TigerGraph cluster, this endpoint only allows you to check the status of a query running on the node to which the request is sent, not all nodes on the cluster.
Parameters:
Parameter | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
String ID of the request.
The parameter can have the value |
|
No |
The name of the graph whose running queries to report on. If not specified, the endpoint returns queries running on the first created graph on the node to which the request is sent. |
Sample request:

}
1 | The query ID associated with the given query status JSON object. |
2 | The timestamp for the start time of the given query. |
3 | The timestamp for when the given query times out. The
default timeout limit is 16 seconds and can be set using
the GSQL-TIMEOUT
header. |
4 | URL of the given query. |
5 | Elapsed real time of the given query measured in milliseconds. For completed queries, the value shows the total runtime of the request. For ongoing queries, it shows the amount of time taken so far. |
6 | The status of the given query. Possible values are
“success” , “timeout” , “aborted” , or “running” . |
If one or more of the provided query IDs (requestid
) are invalid, the return JSON will include an unknown_requestid
field containing all the invalid query IDs.
If a query ID is marked as unknown, it means either the query does not exist or that it was not run in Detached Mode.
Check query results (Detached Mode)
GET /restpp/query_result
This endpoint allows you to check the results of queries run in Detached Mode if they have finished running. If the query is still running, the endpoint will respond with an error and a message saying "Unable to retrieve result for query <requestid>"
. Ensure that the query is finished before checking its result.
This endpoint only allows you to check the results of a query sent to the requested node, not any query in the graph.

Data Consistency Check
GET /restpp/data_consistency_check
Required privilege: Global-level DELETE_DATA
In order to provide peace of mind for TigerGraph operation teams managing HA clusters, a new tool was introduced in version 3.6.3 (via a service endpoint) to check high level consistency of data on both HA and Distributed Clusters. This tool can be easily incorporated into the regular operational process to provide up-to-date summary info on the integrity of your data on all servers.
This tool checks for any discrepancies of vertex and edge counts among GPE replicas as well as between GPE and GSE. If there is a discrepancy, it reports a list of the cluster nodes, vertices, and edges that are mismatched. On a distributed cluster (a cluster with more than one partition), this tool performs the check on each node of the partition cluster and returns results for all nodes. If a discrepancy is detected, we recommend that you contact TigerGraph Support for the best way to restore consistency.
Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
No |
Integer that indicates the number of threads used to execute the deleted vertex check jobs.
This parameter is optional and the default value is |

Path-Finding Algorithms
The TigerGraph platform comes with two built-in endpoints, /shortestpath
and /allpaths
, which return either the shortest or all unweighted paths connecting a set of source vertices to a set of target vertices. The table below summarizes the two path-finding endpoints.
Input Parameters and Output Format for Path-Finding
Each REST endpoint reads a JSON-formatted payload that describes the input parameters. These parameters specify which vertices and edges may be on the paths, additional conditions on the attributes of the vertices and edges, and the maximum length of a path.
Source and target vertices
Each endpoint must have either a source or sources key and either a target or targets parameter. The source and target parameters describe a single vertex. The format for a vertex object is as follows:
{"type" : "<vertex_type_name>", "id" : "<vertex_id>"}.
The sources and targets parameters are JSON arrays containing a list of vertex objects.
Filters
The payload may also have an array of filter conditions, to restrict the vertices or edges in the paths. Each individual filter is a JSON object which describes a condition on one vertex type or edge type. A filter object has one or two key-value pairs:
{"type": "<vertex_or_edge_type>", "condition": "<attribute_condition>"}
-
"type":
the vertex type or edge type to be filtered -
"condition"
(optional): a boolean expression on one attribute of the given vertex type or edge type.and
andor
may be used to make compound expressions.
Example of a filter array:
[{"type": "bought", "condition": "price < \"100\" and quality == \"good\""},
{"type": "sold", "condition": "price > \"100\" or quality != \"good\""}]
Note that all filtering conditions in vertexFilters
and edgeFilters
are combined with the or
relationship, i.e., if a vertex (or edge) fulfills any one of the filter conditions, then this vertex (or edge) will be included in the resulting paths.
Find shortest path
POST /restpp/shortestpath/{graph_name}
This endpoint takes a source vertex or a set of source vertices and a target vertex or a set of target vertices. It returns the shortest path between the source and the target. If the source is a set of vertices, the resulting path will begin with one of the vertices in the set. If the target is a set of vertices, the resulting path will end with one of the vertices in the set.
Request body:
This endpoint expects a request body that describes the source and target vertex or vertex set. Below is a table of all the fields in the request body.

---|---|---|
|
No |
Integer that specified the maximum length of a shortest path. The default value is 6. |

Parameters:
Name | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
|
Yes |
Maximum path length. |
The current implementation of this endpoint will include paths with loops. Since it is possible to go around a loop an infinite number of times, it is important that you select the smallest value of maxLength which you consider appropriate. Even if there are no loops in your graph, a smaller maxLength will allow your query to run faster. |
Sample request:
The example below requests all paths up to maximum length 3
between the source vertex set {Video 0}
and the target vertex set {AttributeTag "action"}
. The path may only contain Video vertices where year >= 1984
. The result includes 3 paths:
AttrributeTag "action" — Video 0
AttrributeTag "action" — Video 3 — VidUser 4 — Video 0
AttrributeTag "action" — Video 2 — VidUser 0 — Video 0
