To retrieve the Prefect API URL in your Python code, you need to access the

PREFECT_API_URL

environment variable. Here's how you can do it: ### Environment Configuration 1. For Prefect Cloud:

Copy code

sh
   export PREFECT_API_URL="<https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/[ACCOUNT-ID]/workspaces/[WORKSPACE-ID]>"

2. For a Local Prefect Server:

Copy code

sh
   export PREFECT_API_URL="<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>"

### Accessing in Python You can retrieve the API URL using Python's

os

module:

Copy code

python
import os

# Get the PREFECT_API_URL from environment variables
api_url = os.getenv("PREFECT_API_URL")
print(api_url)

### Example Configuration Here's a complete example including setting the environment variable and retrieving it in a Python script:

Copy code

sh
# Set the Prefect API URL (example for Prefect Cloud)
export PREFECT_API_URL="<https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/your-account-id/workspaces/your-workspace-id>"

# Python script
import os

def get_prefect_api_url():
    api_url = os.getenv("PREFECT_API_URL")
    if not api_url:
        raise ValueError("Prefect API URL is not set in the environment variables")
    return api_url

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(get_prefect_api_url())

### Documentation For more details, you can refer to the Prefect settings documentation. This should help you get the Prefect API URL in your Python code effectively.
