Hi! Curious if anyone here knows how to create a secret either with prefect cli or via the rest api?

Hey Trent! As of right now, the only way to create a secret is to create a "Secret Block" (which can be done using the API alone on the

/block_documents/

route, but it's a bit messy). We are planning to make secret management more transparent in the near future, so will most likely expose more straightforward APIs/CLIs for this

Thank you for the response. Glad to hear your thinking about it. It’s really the last part to completely automate deployment using private GH repositories. Any chance you have a simple example you can send my way?

It'll take me a bit to write a fully complete example, because you need to look up two IDs from the backend first; here's an example in Python code just in case it helps move the needle for you:

from prefect.blocks.system import Secret

s = Secret(value="my-secret-value")
await s.save(name="my-test-secret")

^^^ if you're able to print the requests made under the hood there you can recreate the API call pattern; I won't be able to take it that far until this evening

Thank you 🙏
