The examples in this section are based on the following graph:

CREATE (:Student {name: 'Alice', score: 71});
CREATE (:Student {name: 'Mark', score: 95});
CREATE (:Student {name: 'Andrea', score: 86});

We can return the internal IDs of these nodes using the id function:

MATCH (s:Student)
RETURN id(s) AS id;

CALL apoc.nodes.delete([3975, 3976, 3977], 2);
