Query API: A Tale Of Types and HTTP
summary
Query API exposes Cypher over HTTPS in Aura, demonstrated with curl -u user:pass and piping results to jq; responses return fields, values, and bookmarks and accept parameters and an access mode header. Neo4j types map to JSON via a one-to-one type/value envelope (e.g., { "type": "Integer", "value": 42 }) so integers, nodes, relationships and composite types preserve type metadata. API favors ease-of-use over raw performance (official drivers still recommended); explicit transactions and result streaming/pagination are planned.
