Prefect Community

Is there a way to return persisted results via the PREFECT API?

I mean the actual results, not meta data :slightly_smiling_face:

You are able to view the results via the api if you stream the results to logs and then query the <https://app.prefect.cloud/api/docs#tag/Logs/operation/read_logs_api_accounts__account_id__workspaces__workspace_id__logs_filter_post|logs via the Rest Api>

hi <@U04QCT55TSQ> - results can be accessed without sending them to the logs. If the persisted result exists, you can retrieve the result attached to the state of a flow run like
```In [14]: !prefect flow-run ls | ag  b99be877
│ b99be877-74c0-4522-ba75-74d102a479a9 │ Execute LLM Call │ Calling langchain.llms.openai │ COMPLETED │ 6 days a… │

In [15]: from uuid import UUID

In [16]: from prefect import get_client

In [17]: async with get_client() as client:
    ...:     flow_run = await client.read_flow_run(flow_run_id=UUID("b99be877-74c0-4522-ba75-74d102a479a9"))
    ...:     print(flow_run.state.result())
    ...:
None```

What is the most elegant way to stream task progress?

e.g. I guess "printing progress to the logs and then querying the logs via REST API" is one option, but maybe there is as well a better option for that?
