Raphtory is a powerful analytics engine for large-scale graph analysis. It lets you run complex queries on your data, no matter where it's stored or what format it's in. But that's not all - Raphtory's real superpower is its ability to track and explore the history of a complex system, from "time traveling" through data to executing advanced analysis like taint tracking, temporal reachability, and mining temporal motifs.
Raphtory is easy to use: just run a single pip install raphtory
command and embed it with your existing Python/Pandas pipeline for input and output.
Raphtory is expressive: It's designed to represent all types of graph queries and has a well-developed API for exploring your data across its history.
Raphtory is lightning-fast and scales effortlessly: Our core is built upon rust. Raphtory can be run on a laptop or a distributed cluster for terabyte-scale graphs.
# Import raphtory
from raphtory import Graph
import pandas as pd
# Create a new graph
graph = Graph(1)
# Add some data to your graph
graph.add_vertex(1, 1, {"name": "Alice"})
graph.add_vertex(2, 2, {"name": "Bob"})
graph.add_vertex(3, 3, {"name": "Charlie"})
graph.add_edge(3, 2, 3, {"friend": "yes"})
graph.add_edge(4, 1, 2, {"friend": "yes"})
graph.add_vertex(5, 1, {"name": "Alice Bob"})
graph.add_edge(4, 2, 3, {"friend": "no"})
# Collect some simple vertex metrics
# Ran across a range of the data with incremental windowing
graph_set = graph.rolling(1)
results = [["timestamp", "window", "name", "out_degree", "in_degree", "properties"]]
for rolling_graph in graph_set:
for v in rolling_graph.vertices():
window = rolling_graph.end() - rolling_graph.start()
results.append([rolling_graph.earliest_time(), window, v.name(), v.out_degree(), v.in_degree(), v.properties()])
# Preview DataFrame and vertex properties
pd.DataFrame(results[1:], columns=results[0])
| | timestamp | window | name | out_degree | in_degree | properties |
|----|-------------|----------|--------|--------------|-------------|---------------------- |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | {'name': 'Alice'} |
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | {'name': 'Bob'} |
| 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | {} |
| 3 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 1 | {'name': 'Charlie'} |
| 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | {} |
| 5 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | {} |
| 6 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 1 | {} |
| 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | {'name': 'Alice Bob'} |
# Again but we focus on edges
graph_set = graph.rolling(1)
results = [["timestamp", "window", "src vertex", "dst vertex", "properties"]]
for rolling_graph in graph_set:
for e in rolling_graph.edges():
window = rolling_graph.end() - rolling_graph.start()
results.append([rolling_graph.earliest_time(), window, e.src().name(), e.dst().name(), e.properties()])
# Preview Dataframe with edge properties
pd.DataFrame(results[1:], columns=results[0])
| | timestamp | window | src vertex | dst vertex | properties |
|----|-------------|----------|------------|------------|---------------------|
| 0 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | {'friend': 'yes'} |
| 1 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | {'friend': 'yes'} |
| 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | {'friend': 'no'} |
Raphtory is available for Python and Rust as of version 0.3.0. We recommend using the raphtory client for Python, which includes everything you need and can be run locally or in distributed mode.
You should have Python version 3.9 or higher. It's a good idea to use conda, virtualenv, or pyenv.
