API Overview

The API follows an identical structure to the CLI, which has been separated in several modules for ease of use. Importing a class or function from mako therefore can be done as follows:

• from mako.scripts.utils import ParentDriver
• from mako.scripts.base import BaseDriver
• from mako.scripts.neo4biom import Biom2Neo
• from mako.scripts.io import IoDriver
• from mako.scripts.netstats import NetstatsDriver
• from mako.scripts.metastats import MetastatsDriver
• from mako.scripts.utils import ParentDriver

For learning more about the parameters used by a driver, type help(driver), replacing driver with the name of the driver you are interested in. Note that all classes have private methods which are not explained here.

All drivers are derived from the ParentDriver class, meaning they share a few parameters that provide information necessary to access the Neo4j database.

• filepath File path for reading / writing files and log
• encrypted Toggle encryption, for example by setting to False to interact with Docker
• user Neo4j username
• password Neo4j password
• uri Neo4j address
