API for retrieving graph visualization - GraphDB Free

Question

I have been exploring the API of GraphDB and I was wondering if there is any command to retrieve a graph visualization of an RDF resource. The people who use graphDB know that in the section Explore > Visual graph you can search for a RDF resource and a graph will be displayed.

I do know and have already tested it, that there are certain commands by using curl or simply sending HTTP requests, that allow to CRUD SPARQL queries, issue queries, CRUD repositories, etc. Does GraphDB support a rest command to retrieve a graph visualization like it is done in the Visual graph previously described?

My idea is to "put myself" in the middle by creating an interface which allows users to query the database by using a simple way (eg: with logical AND/OR blocks) rather than having to learn SPARQL.

If you are wondering why I want GraphDB I can tell you that I really like the presentation, and other alternaties, like Neo4J are quite simple when it comes to draw a graph (actually it is muddled and as long as I am concerned, it does not have node expansions as GraphDB).

It would be much appreciated if you could help me!

Have you checked the Visual Graph feature described at: graphdb.ontotext.com/documentation/standard/…? — vassil_momtchev

Sure! But I want to make is kind of like a wrapper. I would like to add some extra functionality like a friendly filter section for "common" users (people with limited understanding about computers). So, the question is simple: can I retrieve from the GraphDB server JUST THE desired graph by sending an HTTP request? — Thomas
