Script to Send Predefined Queries to ArangoDB

• Author: Volker Hoffmann [email protected]

Prerequisites

0. Linux/Mac
1. Install Python (Anaconda/Miniconda, Enthought, or System)
2. Install PyArango (pip install pyarango)

Usage

0. Install dependencies
1. Edit your query as appropriate (query.aql)
2. Open query.py, find the connect_to_database() function, make sure you're connecting to the correct database and port.
3. Make sure you have a list of keywords IDs you want to query for. For example, you could have file keywords.json looking like:

[
  { "key": "3317658057" },
  { "key": "12219921" } 
]

4. Call the script python ./query.py --keyfile keywords.json
5. If you know your queries take a while (or you run a lot of queries), edit query.sh as appropriate, call it in a screen session, and go home for the night.
6. For each keyword ID (for example, 123) you query, the script will write a file result_123.json.
