Raphtory is an in-memory graph tool written in Rust with friendly Python APIs on top. It is blazingly fast, scales to hundreds of millions of edges on your laptop, and can be dropped into your existing pipelines with a simple pip install raphtory.

It supports time traveling, multilayer modelling, and advanced analytics beyond simple querying like community evolution, dynamic scoring, and mining temporal motifs.

Running a basic example

from raphtory import Graph
import pandas as pd

# Create a new graph
graph = Graph()

# Add some data to your graph
graph.add_vertex(timestamp=1, id="Alice")
graph.add_vertex(timestamp=1, id="Bob")
graph.add_vertex(timestamp=1, id="Charlie")
graph.add_edge  (timestamp=2, src="Bob",   dst="Charlie", properties={"weight":5.0})
graph.add_edge  (timestamp=3, src="Alice", dst="Bob",     properties={"weight":10.0})
graph.add_edge  (timestamp=3, src="Bob",   dst="Charlie", properties={"weight":-15.0})

# Check the number of unique nodes/edges in the graph and earliest/latest time seen.
print(graph)

results = [["earliest_time", "name", "out_degree", "in_degree"]]

# Collect some simple vertex metrics Ran across the history of your graph with a rolling window
for graph_view in graph.rolling(window=1):
    for v in graph_view.vertices():
        results.append([graph_view.earliest_time(), v.name(), v.out_degree(), v.in_degree()])

# Print the results
print(pd.DataFrame(results[1:], columns=results[0]))

# Grab an edge, explore the history of its 'weight' 
cb_edge = graph.edge("Bob","Charlie")
weight_history = cb_edge.property_history("weight")
print("The edge between Bob and Charlie has the following weight history:", weight_history)

# Compare this weight between time 2 and time 3
weight_change = cb_edge.at(2)["weight"] - cb_edge.at(3)["weight"]
print("The weight of the edge between Bob and Charlie has changed by",weight_change,"pts")

Graph(number_of_edges=2, number_of_vertices=3, earliest_time=1, latest_time=3)

|   | earliest_time | name    | out_degree | in_degree |
|---|---------------|---------|------------|-----------|
| 0 | 1             | Alice   | 0          | 0         |
| 1 | 1             | Bob     | 0          | 0         |
| 2 | 1             | Charlie | 0          | 0         |
| 3 | 2             | Bob     | 1          | 0         |
| 4 | 2             | Charlie | 0          | 1         |
| 5 | 3             | Alice   | 1          | 0         |
| 6 | 3             | Bob     | 1          | 1         |
| 7 | 3             | Charlie | 0          | 1         |

The edge between Bob and Charlie has the following weight history: [(2, 5.0), (3, -15.0)]

The weight of the edge between Bob and Charlie has changed by 20.0 pts
