<@ULVA73B9P> How can I get my PREFECT_API_URL?

You can set the `PREFECT_API_URL` based on whether you're using Prefect Cloud, a local Prefect server instance, or another specific environment. Here's how:

1. **Prefect Cloud:** 
   ```sh
   PREFECT_API_URL="<https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/[ACCOUNT-ID]/workspaces/[WORKSPACE-ID]>"
   ```
   You can find your Account ID and Workspace ID in your browser's URL when you're on a Prefect Cloud workspace page.

2. **Local Prefect Server:**
   ```sh
   PREFECT_API_URL="<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>"
   ```
   You typically see this prompt when you start a local server with `prefect server start`:
   ```sh
   prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>
   ```

3. **Remote Environments (e.g., VMs, Docker):**
   Ensure that `PREFECT_API_URL` is set to the correct environment URL where your Prefect server is running.

4. **Using Workers:**
   If you're using workers, the `PREFECT_API_URL` must be set for the environment where the worker is running.
