Quickstart

Begin by importing the client:

>>> from grakn.client import Graph

Now you can connect to a graph:

>>> graph = Graph(uri='http://localhost:4567', keyspace='mygraph')

You can write to the graph:

>>> graph.execute('insert person sub entity;')
[]
>>> graph.execute('insert name sub resource, datatype string;')
[]
>>> graph.execute('insert person has name;')
[]
>>> graph.execute('insert $bob isa person, has name "Bob";')
['1234']

Or read from it:

>>> graph.execute('match $bob isa person, has name $name; select $name;')
[{'name': {'isa': 'name', 'id': '3141816', 'value': 'Bob'}}]
