neo4j/apoc: How to import a local HTML-file using apoc?

Question

I want to import some information from a local html-file to neo4j.

I have tried to use apoc:

CALL apoc.load.html("file:///Local.html",{metadata:"meta", h2:"title"})

The file "Local.html" is inside the import-folder.

This does not work. I get an error:

Neo.ClientError.Procedure.ProcedureCallFailed: Failed to invoke procedure apoc.load.html: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't read the HTML from: file:///Local.html

Is there any way to solve this problem? (Maybe a workaround...)

Answer 1

Relative Path doesn't work in apoc.load.html.

You need to provide the full path like:

CALL apoc.load.html("file:///<NEO4J_HOME>/import/Local.html",{metadata:"meta", h2:"title"})
