@Marvin How can I retrieve deployment name dynamically during a flow run?

To retrieve the deployment name dynamically during a flow run, you can access deployment metadata, including the deployment name, via the runtime context. If the flow is run as part of a deployment, you will be able to see the name of the deployment by accessing the appropriate attribute in the runtime context. Please note that if the flow was run outside of a deployment, the deployment data would not be available. For the specific code or process needed to do this, please refer to the official Prefect documentation: - Runtime Context - Deployment and Flow Concept The first link might be more helpful since it directly discusses accessing information about the current flow run, task run, and deployment. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a provided code example in the excerpt, but reviewing the runtime API reference in the documentation may provide further insight into how to access these attributes.

Thank you @Marvin, and how can I retrieve the name of the parent flow dynamically during a flow run?

To retrieve the name of the parent flow dynamically during a flow run, you would typically use the Prefect runtime module to access flow metadata. When a subflow (child flow) is created within the parent flow, the relationship is tracked, and information about the parent flow should be available through the runtime context. The documentation snippets I retrieved don't explicitly describe the process to get the parent flow's name directly, as the focus is more on how subflows interact with the parent flow. For obtaining the specific attribute pertaining to the parent flow name, you'd likely need to refer to the Prefect runtime API documentation and see if the parent flow's information is exposed. Here are the relevant links to dive deeper into the documentation to find the specifics: - Prefect Flows While the excerpts from the documentation do not directly answer your query, I recommend looking into

prefect.runtime

, which it mentions for accessing flow information, and specifically check if it provides a way to reference the parent flow. The Prefect community and forum might also have examples or discussions related to this use case that could be helpful.

@Marvin I have a flow run id, how can I retrieve the flow name in Python code?

To retrieve the flow name using a flow run ID in Python code, you can use the Prefect Client from the Prefect API to query the flow run and then extract the flow name. Here is a code example that shows how you might accomplish this:

python
from prefect import Client

client = Client()

# Replace 'YOUR_FLOW_RUN_ID' with your actual flow run id
flow_run_id = 'YOUR_FLOW_RUN_ID'

# Get Flow Run information
flow_run_info = client.get_flow_run_info(flow_run_id)

# Extract the Flow Name
flow_name = flow_run_info.flow.name

print(f"The flow name is: {flow_name}")

This code uses the

Client

to fetch the flow run information, which contains the flow name among other details. Remember to replace

'YOUR_FLOW_RUN_ID'

with the actual flow run ID you are querying. Unfortunately, the documentation excerpts do not directly describe the method to achieve this, but the Prefect Client is generally the tool used to interact with the Prefect API, including retrieving such data. For more detailed information on using the Prefect Client, check out the guide: - Using the Client Please note that you will need the appropriate credentials and API settings configured to use the Prefect Client, which are usually set in your Prefect configuration file or environment variables.
