Neo4J get node by ID

MATCH (s)
WHERE ID(s) = 65110
RETURN s

The ID function gets you the id of a node or relationship. This is different from any property called id or ID that you create.


START should only be used when accessing legacy indexes. It is disabled in Cypher 2.2 3.2 and up.

Neo4j recommends using WHERE ID(n) = , and furthermore states that it will only require a single lookup (does not scan every node to find the matching ID)

The answer below is incorrect. It is listed for reference only. See the updated answer above (quoted). The text below is kept for reference only

You can use WHERE ID(s) = 65110, but this will check the ID of every node in your database.

There is a more efficient way to do this:

START s=NODE(517) MATCH(s) RETURN s

you can say:

(n:User) where id(n) >=20 RETURN n

this will return all nodes of type User with node reference ID more than 20
