@Marvin how would I change

PREFECT_API_KEY

from within a Python script?

To change the

PREFECT_API_KEY

from within a Python script, you can use environment variables. In Python, you could set an environment variable using the

os

module like this:

python
import os
os.environ['PREFECT_API_KEY'] = 'your-new-api-key'

Keep in mind that this change only applies to the current process and any child processes spawned after the change. It won't affect the environment variables of the operating system or other processes. For further details on configuring the Prefect API URL and API key, you can consult the Prefect documentation here: Connecting to the API. The Python example has been inferred from a test file within the Prefect GitHub repository, but it shows the principle of how to set the

PREFECT_API_KEY

within a Prefect context. See the example code in the test file test_settings.py. Remember, if you're looking to permanently change the

PREFECT_API_KEY

, you may need to also update your environment variables outside the Python script or use a

.env

file that you load at the beginning of your script. For local development, you can utilize

prefect config set PREFECT_API_KEY="your-new-api-key"

to set the key for your local Prefect configuration.
