The REST api has been deprecated and will not be available from the next major version of Neo4j, Neo4j 4 (due soon). The /cypher endpoint is what you'd use if you just wanted to try it

POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/cypher

{
  "query" : "MATCH (x {name: {startName}})-[r]-(friend) WHERE friend.name = {name} RETURN TYPE(r)",
  "params" : {
    "startName" : "I",
    "name" : "you"
  }
}
