Create nodes and relationships in Neo4j with inputs as a pandas DataFrame with py2neo

Question

I have the output as a pandas data frame. I am trying to write a cypher query to give this data frame as the input to Neo4j and create a graph with relations extracted from its source and target.

If anyone has any idea on how to proceed further, please guide me in this.

The key is how you pass the panda dataframe into the query. I used string format to parameterized source, target and relationship type.

from py2neo import Graph

df = pd.DataFrame([['Kimbal','sibling', 'Elon'],
                   ['Boring', 'owned_by', 'Elon']], 
                  columns=['source', 'relation_type', 'target'])

query = """
    MERGE (s:Source {{name: '{source}'}})
    MERGE (t:Target {{name: '{target}'}})
    MERGE (s)-[r:{relation_type}]->(t)
    RETURN s.name,t.name,type(r) as relation_type;"""

graph = Graph("bolt://localhost:7687", auth=("neo4j", "awesome_password"))
for d in df.values:
    result = graph.run(query.format(source=d[0], relation_type=d[1], target=d[2]))
    d = result.data()
    print(d)

Result:

[{'s.name': 'Kimbal', 't.name': 'Elon', 'relation_type': 'sibling'}]
[{'s.name': 'Boring', 't.name': 'Elon', 'relation_type': 'owned_by'}]
