HTTP Interface for Traversals

{% hint 'warning' %} The API endpoint /_api/traversal is deprecated from version 3.4.0 on. The preferred way to traverse graphs is with AQL. {% endhint %}

ArangoDB's graph traversals are executed on the server. Traversals can be initiated by clients by sending the traversal description for execution to the server.

Traversals in ArangoDB are used to walk over a graph stored in one edge collection. It can easily be described which edges of the graph should be followed and which actions should be performed on each visited vertex. Furthermore the ordering of visiting the nodes can be specified, for instance depth-first or breadth-first search are offered.
