The Neo4j REST API is designed with discoverability in mind, so that you can start with a GET
on the Section 18.1, “Service root” and from there discover URIs to perform other requests.
The examples below uses URIs in the examples; they are subject to change in the future, so for future-proofness discover URIs where possible, instead of relying on the current layout.
The default representation is json, both for responses and for data sent with POST
/PUT
requests.
Below follows a listing of ways to interact with the REST API.
To interact with the JSON interface you must explicitly set the request header Accept:application/json
for those requests that responds with data.
You should also set the header Content-Type:application/json
if your request sends data, for example when you’re creating a relationship.
The examples include the relevant request and response headers.
