@Marvin how can I retry a failed flow run called x using prefect api?

To retry a failed flow run using the Prefect API, you will need to use the
set_flow_run_state
function. Here's a brief example: 1. Import necessary modules and configure the client:
Copy code
python
from prefect import Client
from prefect.engine.state import Scheduled
import pendulum

client = Client()
2. Retrieve the flow run and update its state to `Scheduled`:
Copy code
python
flow_run_id = "YOUR_FLOW_RUN_ID"
scheduled_start_time = pendulum.now("UTC").add(minutes=1)  # Schedule it to run immediately 
client.set_flow_run_state(flow_run_id, Scheduled(start_time=scheduled_start_time))
For additional context, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on flow retries or relevant GitHub issues like Allow resuming/retrying failed/crashed flow runs using the CLI. If you need to automate this within a script or use CLI, these resources provide various methods and best practices for managing retries: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/flows/.
