sorry for the n00b question, but how do i get the bolt address of my aura neo4j instance?

in the neo4j console, i only see

neo4j+s://myhash.databases.neo4j.io

...which doesn't work if i put that as the url in tomaz's llamaindex notebook: blogs/llm/llama_index_neo4j_custom_retriever.ipynb at master · tomasonjo/blogs · GitHub

That is the bolt address, i.e. neo4j+s://myhash.databases.neo4j.io and presuming myhash is replaced by some alphanumeric string.

If you launch a browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc and paste https://browser.neo4j.io/ into the URL location field you can then include this neo4j+s://myhash.databases.neo4j.io in the Connect URL on the authentication form so as to connect.

But ...

i'm just trying to copy "connection URI" from https://console.neo4j.io/ and follow along with the llamaindex demo notebooks...

from llama_index.graph_stores.neo4j import Neo4jPGStore

username="neo4j"
password="mypassword"
url="neo4j+s://myhashfromtheconsole.databases.neo4j.io"

graph_store = Neo4jPGStore(
    username=username,
    password=password,
    url=url,
)

gives:

ServiceUnavailable: Unable to retrieve routing information

@raw

to confirm in your code snippets you are replaceing myhash and myhashfromtheconsole with the actual value? i.e. some alpha numeric string less than 10 characters?

Also any comment on

If you launch a browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc and paste https://browser.neo4j.io/ into the URL location field you can then include this neo4j+s://myhash.databases.neo4j.io in the Connect URL on the authentication form so as to connect.

are you able to connect via the Neo4j Browser?

here's the trick needed to run on a mac: url="neo4j+ssc://hash.databases.neo4j.io"

thanks @bratanic_tomaz

sort of

neo4j+s:// and specifically the +s protocal indicates use a SSL certificate.
neo4j+ssc:// and specifically the +ssc protocal indicates use a self signed certificate.

and to which +s is a bit more secure than +ssc
