Neo4J REST API's

I need some conceptual understanding of Neo4j REST api's usage. I went through the tutorial of neo4j RESt api and got some idea. So is it like these REST api's are used only to CREATE nodes and Relationships and also to fetch data from the neo4j graph database? So can you give me one example/scenario where and how these neo4j REST api's are used?

Thanks, Shree

Historically the very granular REST API calls for e.g. creating nodes, setting properties were there before Cypher was established. Cypher is a way more concise and compact way to query and modify the graph compared to the granular REST calls. These days you typically use Cypher over the transactional http endpoint.

For some usage examples refer to the manual as well.
