py2neo: using cypher inline gives 404 error

Question

I was following simple py2neo tutorial here: http://nicolewhite.github.io/neo4j-jupyter/hello-world.html

Everything worked fine, all the entries appear in the neo4j in-browser version, however when I try to run inline Cypher queries, I get a 404 error.

%%cypher
http://neo4j:password@localhost:7474/db/data/
MATCH (person:Person)-[:LIKES]->(drink:Drink)
RETURN person.name, drink.name, drink.calories

Here's the traceback:

     85             response = Request(**self._auth).get(response_json["data"])

NotFoundError: Code [404]: Not Found. Nothing matches the given URI.
Unable get root

I tried checking if the URI works according to this answer here , and I get 404 error there too:

~$ curl -i --user neo4j:password http://localhost:7474/db/data/
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store
Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Length: 0

I tried setting the Graph option to include the link, but it didn't help:

graph = Graph("http://neo4j:password@localhost:7474/db/data/")

Could you please tell me where have I made a mistake?

Answer 1

I am using py2neo most of the time. Here is how I connect to my local neo4j db.

from py2neo import Graph
graph = Graph("bolt://localhost:7687", auth=("neo4j", "xxxxx"))
try:
    graph.run("Match () Return 1 Limit 1")
    print('ok')
except Exception:
    print('not ok')
