Access Remote database subgraph for pagerank algo

Hi, I'm trying to utilize a page rank algorithm on a subgraph of a remote database (Neo4j Browser). I wanted to use the networkx page rank method, but I don't know how to connect the remote database or even just load the subgraph to networkx.

I know you can export graph data to a GraphML file using APOC, but I'm unsure if I can use APOC on Neo4j desktop with a remote database. I also see that the other neo4j library, Graph Data Science, has a page rank algo, but I'm again unclear about how to use it w/ a remote database.

I'd love any suggestions on how to go about this. I'm new to neo4j, so if there's another avenue for using page rank, I'm all ears.

Hi akn35,

APOC is supported in your local Neo4J Desktop app with remote database.

The remote database in question though appears locked down for the type of access you are attempting. I can see from the published bolt endpoint that network redirecting appears to be in place (bolt://disease.ncats.io:80).

I'd suggest approaching the web site/database owner to obtain permission for accessing their remote data.
