@Marvin How do I get the name of a flow from within the flow using the Python API?

To get the name of a flow from within the flow using the Prefect Python API, you can use the

prefect.runtime

module. For example:

python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.runtime import flow_run

@flow
def my_flow():
    flow_name = flow_run.flow_name
    print(f"The name of this flow is {flow_name}")

my_flow()

By accessing

flow_run.flow_name

, you're able to retrieve the name of the flow that is currently running. Here's the documentation section that contains more information about accessing flow information from within the flow itself.
