Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

When to Use

Writing Python code that connects to Neo4j
Setting up driver, sessions, transactions, or async patterns
Debugging result handling, serialization, or UNWIND batching
Reviewing Neo4j driver usage in Python code

When NOT to Use

Writing/optimizing Cypher → neo4j-cypher-skill
Driver version upgrades → neo4j-migration-skill
GraphRAG pipelines (neo4j-graphrag package) → neo4j-graphrag-skill

Installation

pip install neo4j                  # package name is `neo4j`, NOT `neo4j-driver` (deprecated since v6)
pip install neo4j-rust-ext         # optional: 3–10× faster serialization, same API

Python >=3.10 required for v6.x. Python 3.14 supported [6.1+]. Pandas 3 and PyArrow 23/24 supported [6.2+].

Environment Variables

Load connection config from environment — never hardcode credentials.

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv   # pip install python-dotenv

load_dotenv(".env")   # reads NEO4J_URI / NEO4J_USERNAME / NEO4J_PASSWORD / NEO4J_DATABASE

URI      = os.getenv("NEO4J_URI",      "neo4j://localhost:7687")
USER     = os.getenv("NEO4J_USERNAME", "neo4j")
PASSWORD = os.getenv("NEO4J_PASSWORD", "")
DATABASE = os.getenv("NEO4J_DATABASE", "neo4j")

.env file format:

NEO4J_URI=neo4j+s://xxx.databases.neo4j.io
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=secret
NEO4J_DATABASE=neo4j

Add .env to .gitignore. Without python-dotenv, use export in shell or os.getenv directly.

Driver Lifecycle

Create one Driver per application. Thread-safe, expensive to create. Never create per-request.

from neo4j import GraphDatabase

URI  = "neo4j+s://xxx.databases.neo4j.io"   # Aura
AUTH = ("neo4j", "password")

# Context manager — preferred for scripts
with GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH) as driver:
    driver.verify_connectivity()
    # ... work ...

# Long-lived singleton (service / web app)
driver = GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH)
driver.verify_connectivity()
# on shutdown:
driver.close()

URI schemes:

Scheme	Use
`neo4j+s://`	TLS + cluster routing — Aura default
`neo4j://`	Unencrypted + cluster routing
`bolt+s://`	TLS, single instance
`bolt://`	Unencrypted, single instance

Auth options: ("user", "pass") tuple, basic_auth(), bearer_auth("jwt"), kerberos_auth("b64").

Choosing the Right API

API	Use when	Auto-retry	Streaming
`driver.execute_query()`	Most queries — simple, safe default	✅	❌ eager
`session.execute_read/write()`	Large results / multiple queries in one tx	✅	✅
`session.run()`	`LOAD CSV`, `CALL {} IN TRANSACTIONS`, scripts	⚠️ one-shot [6.2+]	✅
`AsyncGraphDatabase`	asyncio applications	✅	✅

session.run() retry [6.2+]: single immediate retry on DBMS-marked idempotent errors only (currently admission control). Disable with disable_auto_commit_retries=True at driver or session level.

`execute_query` — Default API

from neo4j import GraphDatabase, RoutingControl

# Tuple unpacking — most common
records, summary, keys = driver.execute_query(
    "MATCH (p:Person {name: $name})-[:KNOWS]->(f) RETURN f.name AS name",
    name="Alice",
    routing_=RoutingControl.READ,   # route reads to replicas
    database_="neo4j",              # always specify — saves a round-trip
)
for record in records:
    print(record["name"])
print(summary.result_available_after, "ms")

# Write — check counters
summary = driver.execute_query(
    "CREATE (p:Person {name: $name, age: $age})",
    name="Bob", age=30,
    database_="neo4j",
).summary
print(summary.counters.nodes_created)

Trailing-underscore convention — config kwargs end with _ (database_, routing_, auth_, result_transformer_, bookmark_manager_). No query parameter name may end with _; pass those via parameters_={"key_": val}.

Never f-string or format Cypher. Always $param — prevents injection and enables plan caching.

result_transformer_ — reshape before return:

import neo4j
df      = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name, p.age", database_="neo4j",
                                result_transformer_=neo4j.Result.to_df)
record  = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person {name:$n}) RETURN p", n="Alice", database_="neo4j",
                                result_transformer_=neo4j.Result.single)   # raises if 0 or 2+ results

Result.single() raises ResultNotSingleError on zero results (not just 2+). Use single(strict=False) for None-on-empty.

Managed Transactions (`execute_read` / `execute_write`)

Use for large results or multiple queries in one transaction.

with driver.session(database="neo4j") as session:

    def get_people(tx):
        result = tx.run("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.name STARTS WITH $pfx RETURN p.name AS name",
                        pfx="Al")
        return [r["name"] for r in result]   # consume INSIDE callback — Result invalid after tx closes

    names = session.execute_read(get_people)

    def create_person(tx):
        tx.run("CREATE (p:Person {name: $name})", name="Carol")

    session.execute_write(create_person)

Result lifetime — Result is a lazy cursor backed by the open transaction. Returning it unconsumed raises ResultConsumedError. Always collect to list inside the callback.

Callback may retry on transient failures — keep callbacks idempotent; move side effects (HTTP calls, emails) outside the callback.

Timeout/metadata via @unit_of_work (named functions only — cannot decorate lambdas):

from neo4j import unit_of_work

@unit_of_work(timeout=5.0, metadata={"app": "svc", "user": user_id})
def get_people(tx):
    return [r["name"] for r in tx.run("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name")]

session.execute_read(get_people)

Implicit Transactions (`session.run`)

Use only for LOAD CSV, CALL {} IN TRANSACTIONS, or quick scripts. session.run() does a single immediate retry on idempotent (DBMS-marked) errors only [6.2+]; other errors do not retry.

with driver.session(database="neo4j") as session:
    result = session.run("CREATE (p:Person {name: $name})", name="Alice")
    summary = result.consume()   # call consume() to guarantee commit before proceeding
    print(summary.counters.nodes_created)

# Opt out of one-shot retry [6.2+] — driver- or session-level
driver = GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH, disable_auto_commit_retries=True)
with driver.session(database="neo4j", disable_auto_commit_retries=True) as session:
    session.run("...")

Async API

Mirror of sync API — replace GraphDatabase with AsyncGraphDatabase, await every call.

from neo4j import AsyncGraphDatabase
import asyncio

# Singleton — same rule as sync: never create per-request
driver = AsyncGraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH)

async def main():
    records, _, _ = await driver.execute_query(
        "MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name",
        database_="neo4j", routing_=RoutingControl.READ,
    )
    print([r["name"] for r in records])
    await driver.close()

asyncio.run(main())

FastAPI lifespan pattern:

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi import FastAPI

_driver = None

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    global _driver
    _driver = AsyncGraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH)
    await _driver.verify_connectivity()
    yield
    await _driver.close()

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

Parallel queries with asyncio.gather:

results = await asyncio.gather(
    driver.execute_query("MATCH (a:Artist) RETURN a.name AS name", database_="neo4j"),
    driver.execute_query("MATCH (v:Venue)  RETURN v.name AS name",  database_="neo4j"),
)

Never use sync GraphDatabase in asyncio — blocks the event loop.

Full async patterns → references/async.md

Error Handling

from neo4j.exceptions import (
    Neo4jError, ServiceUnavailable, TransientError,
    AuthError, ConstraintError,
)

try:
    driver.execute_query("...", database_="neo4j")
except AuthError:
    ...  # bad credentials
except ServiceUnavailable:
    ...  # no servers reachable
except ConstraintError as e:
    # unique/existence constraint violation — catch BEFORE Neo4jError (it's a subclass)
    print(e.code, e.message)
except TransientError as e:
    # raised only after retries exhausted (execute_query retries automatically)
    print(e.code)
except Neo4jError as e:
    print(e.code, e.message, e.gql_status)

Catch ConstraintError before Neo4jError — it is a subclass and will be swallowed otherwise.

Result Access & Null Safety

record = records[0]
record["name"]               # by key — KeyError if absent
record[0]                    # by index
record.get("name")           # None for absent key OR graph null
record.get("name", "Unknown")
d = record.data()            # dict — values still driver objects for Node/Rel/temporal types

record.data() is not JSON-safe if result contains Node, Relationship, Path, or neo4j.time.* values. Project scalar fields in Cypher instead of returning whole nodes.

# ❌ raises TypeError on json.dumps
records, _, _ = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p", database_="neo4j")
json.dumps(records[0].data())

# ✅ project scalars
records, _, _ = driver.execute_query(
    "MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name, p.age AS age", database_="neo4j")
json.dumps(records[0].data())   # safe

Node/Relationship/temporal access:

node = record["p"]           # neo4j.graph.Node
node.element_id              # stable within this transaction only
node.labels                  # frozenset({'Person'})
dict(node)                   # all properties as plain dict

rel  = record["r"]           # neo4j.graph.Relationship
rel.type                     # 'KNOWS'

dt = record["created_at"]    # neo4j.time.DateTime
dt.to_native()               # datetime.datetime (loses sub-µs precision)

Full type mapping table → references/data-types.md

Batch Writes with UNWIND

Pass list[dict] — only shape the driver serializes correctly for UNWIND.

people = [{"name": "Alice", "age": 30}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 25}]
driver.execute_query(
    "UNWIND $rows AS row MERGE (p:Person {name: row.name}) SET p.age = row.age",
    rows=people,
    database_="neo4j",
)

Custom objects and dataclasses must be converted to dict before passing as parameters.

Performance

Always set database_ / database= — omitting triggers a home-database round-trip per call.
execute_read routes to replicas automatically; use routing_=RoutingControl.READ with execute_query.
Batch writes: one execute_write callback for the whole list > one tx per item.
Large results: stream lazily inside execute_read callback; execute_query is always eager.

Connection pool tuning:

driver = GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH,
    max_connection_pool_size=50,        # default 100

## `execute_query` — Default API

```python
from neo4j import GraphDatabase, RoutingControl

# Tuple unpacking — most common
records, summary, keys = driver.execute_query(
    "MATCH (p:Person {name: $name})-[:KNOWS]->(f) RETURN f.name AS name",
    name="Alice",
    routing_=RoutingControl.READ,   # route reads to replicas
    database_="neo4j",              # always specify — saves a round-trip
)
for record in records:
    print(record["name"])
print(summary.result_available_after, "ms")

# Write — check counters
summary = driver.execute_query(
    "CREATE (p:Person {name: $name, age: $age})",
    name="Bob", age=30,
    database_="neo4j",
).summary
print(summary.counters.nodes_created)
```

**Trailing-underscore convention** — config kwargs end with `_` (`database_`, `routing_`, `auth_`, `result_transformer_`, `bookmark_manager_`). No query parameter name may end with `_`; pass those via `parameters_={"key_": val}`.

**Never f-string or format Cypher.** Always `$param` — prevents injection and enables plan caching.

`result_transformer_` — reshape before return:
```python
import neo4j
df      = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name, p.age", database_="neo4j",
                                result_transformer_=neo4j.Result.to_df)
record  = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person {name:$n}) RETURN p", n="Alice", database_="neo4j",
                                result_transformer_=neo4j.Result.single)   # raises if 0 or 2+ results
```

`Result.single()` raises `ResultNotSingleError` on **zero** results (not just 2+). Use `single(strict=False)` for None-on-empty.

---

## Managed Transactions (`execute_read` / `execute_write`)

Use for large results or multiple queries in one transaction.

```python
with driver.session(database="neo4j") as session:

    def get_people(tx):
        result = tx.run("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.name STARTS WITH $pfx RETURN p.name AS name",
                        pfx="Al")
        return [r["name"] for r in result]   # consume INSIDE callback — Result invalid after tx closes

    names = session.execute_read(get_people)

    def create_person(tx):
        tx.run("CREATE (p:Person {name: $name})", name="Carol")

    session.execute_write(create_person)
```

**Result lifetime** — `Result` is a lazy cursor backed by the open transaction. Returning it unconsumed raises `ResultConsumedError`. Always collect to `list` inside the callback.

**Callback may retry** on transient failures — keep callbacks idempotent; move side effects (HTTP calls, emails) outside the callback.

Timeout/metadata via `@unit_of_work` (named functions only — cannot decorate lambdas):
```python
from neo4j import unit_of_work

@unit_of_work(timeout=5.0, metadata={"app": "svc", "user": user_id})
def get_people(tx):
    return [r["name"] for r in tx.run("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name")]

session.execute_read(get_people)
```

---

## Implicit Transactions (`session.run`)

Use only for `LOAD CSV`, `CALL {} IN TRANSACTIONS`, or quick scripts. `session.run()` does a single immediate retry on idempotent (DBMS-marked) errors only [6.2+]; other errors do not retry.

```python
with driver.session(database="neo4j") as session:
    result = session.run("CREATE (p:Person {name: $name})", name="Alice")
    summary = result.consume()   # call consume() to guarantee commit before proceeding
    print(summary.counters.nodes_created)

# Opt out of one-shot retry [6.2+] — driver- or session-level
driver = GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH, disable_auto_commit_retries=True)
with driver.session(database="neo4j", disable_auto_commit_retries=True) as session:
    session.run("...")
```

---

## Async API

Mirror of sync API — replace `GraphDatabase` with `AsyncGraphDatabase`, `await` every call.

```python
from neo4j import AsyncGraphDatabase
import asyncio

# Singleton — same rule as sync: never create per-request
driver = AsyncGraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH)

async def main():
    records, _, _ = await driver.execute_query(
        "MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name",
        database_="neo4j", routing_=RoutingControl.READ,
    )
    print([r["name"] for r in records])
    await driver.close()

asyncio.run(main())
```

FastAPI lifespan pattern:
```python
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi import FastAPI

_driver = None

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    global _driver
    _driver = AsyncGraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH)
    await _driver.verify_connectivity()
    yield
    await _driver.close()

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
```

Parallel queries with `asyncio.gather`:
```python
results = await asyncio.gather(
    driver.execute_query("MATCH (a:Artist) RETURN a.name AS name", database_="neo4j"),
    driver.execute_query("MATCH (v:Venue)  RETURN v.name AS name",  database_="neo4j"),
)
```

**Never use sync `GraphDatabase` in asyncio** — blocks the event loop.

Full async patterns → [references/async.md](references/async.md)

---

## Error Handling

```python
from neo4j.exceptions import (
    Neo4jError, ServiceUnavailable, TransientError,
    AuthError, ConstraintError,
)

try:
    driver.execute_query("...", database_="neo4j")
except AuthError:
    ...  # bad credentials
except ServiceUnavailable:
    ...  # no servers reachable
except ConstraintError as e:
    # unique/existence constraint violation — catch BEFORE Neo4jError (it's a subclass)
    print(e.code, e.message)
except TransientError as e:
    # raised only after retries exhausted (execute_query retries automatically)
    print(e.code)
except Neo4jError as e:
    print(e.code, e.message, e.gql_status)
```

Catch `ConstraintError` before `Neo4jError` — it is a subclass and will be swallowed otherwise.

---

## Result Access & Null Safety

```python
record = records[0]
record["name"]               # by key — KeyError if absent
record[0]                    # by index
record.get("name")           # None for absent key OR graph null
record.get("name", "Unknown")
d = record.data()            # dict — values still driver objects for Node/Rel/temporal types
```

`record.data()` is **not JSON-safe** if result contains `Node`, `Relationship`, `Path`, or `neo4j.time.*` values. Project scalar fields in Cypher instead of returning whole nodes.

```python
# ❌ raises TypeError on json.dumps
records, _, _ = driver.execute_query("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p", database_="neo4j")
json.dumps(records[0].data())

# ✅ project scalars
records, _, _ = driver.execute_query(
    "MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name, p.age AS age", database_="neo4j")
json.dumps(records[0].data())   # safe
```

Node/Relationship/temporal access:
```python
node = record["p"]           # neo4j.graph.Node
node.element_id              # stable within this transaction only
node.labels                  # frozenset({'Person'})
dict(node)                   # all properties as plain dict

rel  = record["r"]           # neo4j.graph.Relationship
rel.type                     # 'KNOWS'

dt = record["created_at"]    # neo4j.time.DateTime
dt.to_native()               # datetime.datetime (loses sub-µs precision)
```

## Batch Writes with UNWIND

Pass `list[dict]` — only shape the driver serializes correctly for `UNWIND`.

```python
people = [{"name": "Alice", "age": 30}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 25}]
driver.execute_query(
    "UNWIND $rows AS row MERGE (p:Person {name: row.name}) SET p.age = row.age",
    rows=people,
    database_="neo4j",
)
```

Custom objects and dataclasses must be converted to `dict` before passing as parameters.

---

## Performance

- Always set `database_` / `database=` — omitting triggers a home-database round-trip per call.
- `execute_read` routes to replicas automatically; use `routing_=RoutingControl.READ` with `execute_query`.
- Batch writes: one `execute_write` callback for the whole list > one tx per item.
- Large results: stream lazily inside `execute_read` callback; `execute_query` is always eager.

Connection pool tuning:
```python
driver = GraphDatabase.driver(URI, auth=AUTH,
    max_connection_pool_size=50,        # default 100
