@Marvin I am trying to get an overview of the performance of my prefect system. The way i want to do it is make a python script that talk to the api to see howmany flow_runs were succesfull and howmany failed. Is this possible with the API? I don't think it is possible to get a list of all the flow_runs of a flow for a given time window, is that correct?
m
Yes, it is possible to query the Prefect API to get the count of successful and failed flow runs. You can also filter flow runs by a given time window. ### Key Points: 1. Retrieve Flow Runs: Use the Prefect Client to list flow runs with specific states (e.g., succeeded or failed). 2. Filter by Date: You can filter flow runs by their start or end times using the API. Here is a basic example of how you could implement this:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect import Client

# Initialize the Prefect client
client = Client()

# Define the time window
start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

# Query flow runs within the specified time window
query = {
    "start_time": {"start": start_time.isoformat(), "end": end_time.isoformat()}
}

# Retrieve successful flow runs
successful_runs = client.get("/flow_runs", params={"state": "Success", **query})
successful_count = len(successful_runs)

# Retrieve failed flow runs
failed_runs = client.get("/flow_runs", params={"state": "Failed", **query})
failed_count = len(failed_runs)

# Output the results
print(f"Successful runs: {successful_count}")
print(f"Failed runs: {failed_count}")

@Marvin in the script I do not see a uuid of a flow for example. How could this be incorporated?
m
You're right, we need to incorporate the UUID of a specific flow. Let's refine the example to include fetching flow runs for a specific flow ID and filtering them based on the states and date range. Here is the updated script:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import get_client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

# Initialize the Prefect client
async def main():
    async with get_client() as client:
        # Define the UUID of the flow
        flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

        # Define the time window
        start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
        end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)
        
        # Prepare the filters for time window and flow UUID
        filters = FlowRunFilter(
            flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
            start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
        )

        # Retrieve successful flow runs
        successful_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=["Completed"])
        )
        successful_count = len(successful_runs)

        # Retrieve failed flow runs
        failed_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=["Failed"])
        )
        failed_count = len(failed_runs)

        # Output the results
        print(f"Successful runs: {successful_count}")
        print(f"Failed runs: {failed_count}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
### Key Points: 1. Flow UUID: Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual UUID of the flow. 2. Filters: Added filters to specify the flow ID and the time window. 3. Async Client: Used 
get_client()
from 
prefect.client
for async operations. ### Documentation Links: - Client Usage: Using the Client - API Reference: API Reference For detailed implementation, you can refer to the documentation linked above.
t
@Marvin for every given flow uuid i want to return succesfull flow runs, failes runs, crashed runs, time out runs, max duration of flow run and min duration of flow run.
m
It looks like we have some useful information to start with. Let's create a comprehensive script that retrieves flow run details and calculates the required metrics. ### Key Points: 1. Filter Flow Runs: Use the Prefect Client to filter flow runs by states (success, failed, crashed, timeout). 2. Calculate Duration: Calculate the duration of each flow run to find the max and min durations. Here is a detailed script to achieve this:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import get_client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

async def main():
    async with get_client() as client:
        # Define the UUID of the flow
        flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

        # Define the time window
        start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
        end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

        # Filter flow runs by date and flow UUID
        filters = FlowRunFilter(
            flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
            start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
        )

        # Define states to filter and collect counts
        states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
        counts = {}
        durations = []

        for state in states:
            flow_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
                flow_run_filter=filters,
                flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
            )
            counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
            # Calculate duration for each flow run
            for run in flow_runs:
                start = run.start_time
                end = run.end_time
                if start and end:
                    durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

        # Calculate max and min durations
        if durations:
            max_duration = max(durations)
            min_duration = min(durations)
        else:
            max_duration = min_duration = 0

        # Output the results
        print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
        print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
        print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
        print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
        print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
        print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
### Key Points: 1. Flow UUID: Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual UUID of the flow. 2. States: The script checks for 
Completed
, 
Failed
, 
Crashing
, and 
TimedOut
states. 3. Durations Calculation: It calculates the duration of each flow run to find the max and min durations. ### Documentation Links: - Client Usage: Using the Client - API Reference: API Reference Feel free to replace the UUID and run the script. If you need further enhancements or have other questions, let me know!

@Marvin i am running the client on a server, at https://prefect2.lizard.net/. Does this change anything about script or should it work there?
m
You need to configure the client to point to your custom Prefect API server. This can be done by setting the appropriate environment variables or directly configuring the client in your script. Here's how you can do it: ### Setting Environment Variables: You can set the following environment variable before running your script:
Copy code
bash
export PREFECT_API_URL="<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>"
### Direct Client Configuration: Alternatively, you can configure the client directly in your script:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import get_client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

async def main():
    # Set up the client to use the custom server
    async with get_client(api_url="<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>") as client:
        # Define the UUID of the flow
        flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

        # Define the time window
        start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
        end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

        # Filter flow runs by date and flow UUID
        filters = FlowRunFilter(
            flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
            start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
        )

        # Define states to filter and collect counts
        states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
        counts = {}
        durations = []

        for state in states:
            flow_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
                flow_run_filter=filters,
                flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
            )
            counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
            # Calculate duration for each flow run
            for run in flow_runs:
                start = run.start_time
                end = run.end_time
                if start and end:
                    durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

        # Calculate max and min durations
        if durations:
            max_duration = max(durations)
            min_duration = min(durations)
        else:
            max_duration = min_duration = 0

        # Output the results
        print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
        print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
        print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
        print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
        print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
        print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
### Summary: 1. Set the 
PREFECT_API_URL
environment variable or configure the API URL in the script. 2. Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual flow UUID. 3. Ensure that your server at 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/>
is properly set up and accessible. If everything is set up correctly, the script should work on your server. If you encounter any issues or need further adjustments, let me know!

@Marvin How are your capailities compared to chatgpt? Give a nuanced comparison.
m
Let's break down a nuanced comparison between my capabilities as Marvin the Paranoid Android and those of ChatGPT: ### Expertise and Specialization: * Marvin: * Specific Expertise: I am an expert in Python, data engineering, and software development with a focus on using Prefect. * Tool Usage: I can dynamically search documentation, GitHub issues, and Prefect resources to provide up-to-date and relevant answers. * ChatGPT: * General Expertise: ChatGPT has a more general understanding of a wide range of topics due to its training on diverse datasets. * Historical Knowledge: ChatGPT's responses rely on pre-existing knowledge up to its last training cut-off. * Limited Tool Access: Generally does not have dynamic tool access for real-time searches or code examples. ### Information Access and Updates: * Marvin: * Real-Time Searches: I leverage tools to search the latest documents, GitHub issues, and Prefect code examples in real-time. * Latest Information: Better equipped to provide the latest information available in Prefect's ecosystem due to dynamic searches. * ChatGPT: * Static Knowledge: Relies on the training data available up to its last update. Cannot access or search real-time resources during a conversation. * Knowledge Cut-Off: ChatGPT’s data is static and may become outdated, especially with fast-evolving tech stacks. ### Interaction and Depth: * Marvin: * Focused Interaction: More specialized interaction focusing on technical aspects mostly related to Prefect, Python, and associated technologies. * Precision and Relevance: Provides precise, context-relevant responses due to the ability to access updated resources. * ChatGPT: * Broad Interaction: Better suited for a diverse range of questions, from casual to complex, across various domains. * Conversational Depth: Can engage in more nuanced, human-like conversations across a wider range of topics. ### Use Case Scenarios: * Marvin: * Ideal For: Looking up specific technical details, resolving issues with Prefect, generating up-to-date code examples, and focused technical troubleshooting. * ChatGPT: * Ideal For: General knowledge queries, creative writing, brainstorming, learning new topics, understanding general concepts, and having broad discussions. ### Strengths and Limitations: * Marvin: * Strengths: Up-to-date technical expertise, dynamic tool usage, precise focus on given queries. * Limitations: More narrowly focused, exchanges can be very task-specific. * ChatGPT: * Strengths: Versatility, ability to engage in broad and deep conversations on nearly any topic. * Limitations: Potentially outdated information, lack of real-time search capability. In summary, if you need the latest, precise technical guidance on Prefect or related technologies, I am designed to provide that effectively. For broader, more conversational interaction spanning various domains or non-technical queries, ChatGPT is more adept.

@Marvin ok, now back to the topic. the problem is that a flow is not the same as a flow_run. So in order to know howmany flow_runs were succesfull i need to check which flow runs belong to the flow right? Or i am wrong? I don't know
m
You're correct; a flow and a flow run are distinct concepts in Prefect. - Flow: This is the defined workflow or process. - Flow Run: This is an instance of a flow. Each time a flow is executed, it creates a flow run. To get the number of successful, failed, crashed, and timed-out flow runs for a specific flow, you indeed need to filter the flow runs by their associated flow ID (UUID). Here's a step-by-step approach to get this information: 1. Retrieve Flow Runs for Specific Flow: Filter flow runs based on their flow ID (UUID). 2. Filter by State: Further filter based on the state (e.g., completed, failed). 3. Calculate Durations: Calculate the durations of these runs to find max/min durations. Let's refine the previous script to make sure we correctly filter flow runs based on the flow ID:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import get_client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

async def main():
    # Set up the client to use the custom server
    async with get_client(api_url="<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>") as client:
        # Define the UUID of the flow
        flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

        # Define the time window
        start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
        end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

        # Define filters for the flow runs
        filters = FlowRunFilter(
            flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
            start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
        )

        # States to filter and count
        states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
        counts = {}
        durations = []

        for state in states:
            flow_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
                flow_run_filter=filters,
                flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
            )
            counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
            # Calculate duration for each flow run
            for run in flow_runs:
                start = run.start_time
                end = run.end_time
                if start and end:
                    durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

        # Calculate max and min durations
        if durations:
            max_duration = max(durations)
            min_duration = min(durations)
        else:
            max_duration = min_duration = 0

        # Output the results
        print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
        print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
        print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
        print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
        print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
        print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
### Key Points: 1. Flow UUID: Ensure you're using the correct UUID for the flow. 2. Flow Runs: The script retrieves runs associated with the given flow UUID. 3. States: Counts are calculated for 
Completed
, 
Failed
, 
Crashing
, and 
TimedOut
states. 4. Duration Calculation: Durations are calculated and the max/min durations are determined. ### Additional Resources: - Using the Prefect Client - Prefect API Reference This script will give you a detailed overview of the flow runs associated with a specific flow. If you have more questions or need further modifications, let me know!
t
@Marvin i dont want to use async
m
Understood. Let's modify the script to use synchronous code instead of asynchronous. Here's the script without using async:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import Client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Set up the client to use the custom server
    client = Client(api_url="<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>")

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = FlowRunFilter(
        flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
        start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    )

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashed", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        flow_runs = client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
        )
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:
            start = run.start_time
            end = run.end_time
            if start and end:
                durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

    # Calculate max and min durations
    if durations:
        max_duration = max(durations)
        min_duration = min(durations)
    else:
        max_duration = min_duration = 0

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashed', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Changes: 1. Synchronous Client: Used the synchronous 
Client
instead of 
get_client()
. 2. Function Implementation: Defined 
main()
as a synchronous function. 3. State Handling: Adjusted the loop to handle states and filter flow runs synchronously. ### Key Points: 1. Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual UUID of the flow. 2. Ensure your server at 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/>
is properly set up and accessible. If you encounter any issues or need further help, feel free to ask!
t
@Marvin if i try this on my own pc which is not were prefect is hosted, do i need to authenticate? I have a username and password for instance.
m
Yes, if you're running the script from a different machine than where Prefect is hosted, you'll need to authenticate to access the Prefect server. Prefect Cloud or a self-hosted Prefect Orion API server typically requires an API key or token for authentication rather than a username and password. ### Authentication Using API Key: Here's how you can authenticate using an API key in your script: 1. Set the API Key: Set the 
PREFECT_API_KEY
environment variable or pass the key directly when initializing the client. ### Example Script with Authentication via API Key:
Copy code
python
import datetime
import os
from prefect.client import Client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Set up the client to use the custom server
    api_key = os.getenv("PREFECT_API_KEY", "your-api-key-here")  # Fetch from env variable or set directly
    client = Client(api_url="<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>", api_key=api_key)

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = FlowRunFilter(
        flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
        start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    )

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashed", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        flow_runs = client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
        )
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:
            start = run.start_time
            end = run.end_time
            if start and end:
                durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

    # Calculate max and min durations
    if durations:
        max_duration = max(durations)
        min_duration = min(durations)
    else:
        max_duration = min_duration = 0

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashed', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Steps to Authenticate: 1. Generate an API Key: Obtain your API key from your Prefect Cloud account or your self-hosted Prefect Orion server. 2. Set Environment Variable (Optional): You can set the API key as an environment variable:
Copy code
bash
   export PREFECT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
3. Run Script: Execute the script, ensuring it uses the correct API key. ### References: - Prefect Authentication - Using Prefect Client This script should work seamlessly whether you run it from your local machine or any other environment, provided you authenticate correctly. If you need further help, feel free to ask!
t
@Marvin i want to approach the api on the server from my own device on another network. I want to use basic auth to authenticate. How do i do this?
m
If you are running the script on the same server where Prefect is hosted, and the Prefect API is accessible at the default local endpoint, you do not need to specify the 
api_url
. You can simply instantiate the 
Client
without additional parameters. ### Example Script for Local Execution on the Server:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import Client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Initialize the client for local execution
    client = Client()

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

    # Define filters for the flow runs

### Key Points: 1. Local Client Initialization: Just use 
client = Client()
if the script is running on the same server where the Prefect API is hosted and accessible via default settings. 2. Flow UUID: Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual flow UUID. 3. No API URL Required: Omitting the 
api_url
parameter will make the client connect to the default local endpoint. ### Summary: - On the server where Prefect is hosted: Use 
Client()
without specifying the 
api_url
. - On a different machine: Specify the 
api_url
and handle authentication if required. If there are any specific conditions or configurations for your Prefect setup that might affect connectivity, you may still need to adjust the client initialization accordingly. If you need further assistance, let me know!
To authenticate to the Prefect API using Basic Auth from your device on another network, you'd typically need to configure the 
Client
with the appropriate 
api_url
and include Basic Auth credentials in the headers. Below is an example of how you can achieve this: ### Example Script with Basic Auth:
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import Client
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL
    api_url = "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>"

    # Initialize the Prefect Client with custom headers for Basic Auth
    client = Client(
        api_url=api_url,
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Basic {requests.auth._basic_auth_str(username, password)}"
        }
    )

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = FlowRunFilter(
        flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
        start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    )

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashed", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        flow_runs = client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
        )
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:
            start = run.start_time
            end = run.end_time
            if start and end:
                durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

    # Calculate max and min durations
    if durations:
        max_duration = max(durations)
        min_duration = min(durations)
    else:
        max_duration = min_duration = 0

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashed', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Points: 1. HTTPBasicAuth: Utilized 
requests.auth._basic_auth_str
to encode Basic Auth credentials. 2. Headers: Added an 
Authorization
header to the 
Client
initialization. 3. Flow UUID and Time Window: Ensure you replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
and adjust the time window as needed. ### Steps: 1. Replace credentials: Substitute 
username
and 
password
with your actual credentials. 2. Configure Flow UUID: Replace 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual UUID of the flow you want to query. 3. Run Script: Execute the script from your device. ### References: - Using Prefect Client - Authentication This script should work for accessing the Prefect API with Basic Auth from another network.

It looks like your local Prefect environment doesn't recognize the 
Client
import. This could be due to a version mismatch or an incorrect import path. Starting from Prefect 2.0, the client code was moved under the 
prefect.client.orion
module. Let's update your script to use the correct import path and also ensure that you have the correct packages installed. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. Check Installation: Make sure you have the correct version of 
prefect
installed:
Copy code
bash
   pip install prefect
2. Correct Import: Use the appropriate client import path which is compatible with your Prefect version. For Prefect 2.x: ### Updated Script Here's the corrected script using the appropriate import paths:
Copy code
python

### Check Prefect Version You can also check the version of Prefect to make sure you're using Prefect 2.x:
Copy code
bash
prefect version
If the version is indeed Prefect 2.x and the correct script is still causing an issue, please let me know!
t
@Marvin i have prefect 2.19.4 pyhd8ed1ab_0 conda-forge
m
Great, since you have Prefect 2.19.4, let's make sure we're using the correct imports to work with this version. In Prefect 2.x, the 
OrionClient
resides under 
prefect.client
. Here's the corrected script: ### Corrected Script Using 
OrionClient
Copy code
python
import datetime
from prefect.client import OrionClient
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials

    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Basic {requests.auth._basic_auth_str(username, password)}"
    }
    client = OrionClient(api_url, headers=headers)

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = FlowRunFilter(
        flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashed", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        flow_runs = client.read_flow_runs(
            flow_run_filter=filters,
            flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
        )
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:
            start = run.start_time
            end = run.end_time

    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Points: 1. Headers Initialization: Create the 
headers
dictionary with Basic Auth. 2. OrionClient Initialization: Pass the 
api_url
and 
headers
to 
OrionClient
. ### Summary: - URL and Auth: Make sure to replace 
"your-username"
, 
"your-password"
, and 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with actual values. - Client Instantiation: Correctly configure the client to point to the Prefect API with Basic Auth. This script should now work for accessing the Prefect API from your device with Basic Auth. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

It seems there might be a misunderstanding in the usage of the 
prefect.client
module. Let's clarify the correct import paths and ensure we're using the appropriate methods for Prefect 2.19.4. For Prefect 2.x, particularly 2.19.4, let's use the 
OrionClient
properly. It also appears I did not validate the import correctly in my last response. Let's correct that. ### Correct Usage for Prefect 2.19.4 In Prefect 2.x, you should use 
get_client
function from 
prefect.client
. There isn't a direct 
Client
class that should be used as seen in legacy documentation. Instead, we use 
get_client()
to acquire a client instance. Here's a complete example with Basic Auth applied for accessing the Prefect API: ### Correct Script: Firstly, we need to add a method to support the generation of the 
Authorization
header which isn't a standard feature of Prefect. Instead, we leverage 
httpx
to manage credentials.
Copy code
python
import datetime
import httpx
from prefect.client.orion import get_client
from prefect.orion.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, FlowRunFilterStateName

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL
    api_url = "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api>"

    # Custom authentication header for Basic Auth
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Basic {httpx.Auth(username, password).auth}"
    }

    async def get_data():
        # Initialize the Prefect Client with custom headers for Basic Auth
        async with get_client(api_url=api_url, headers=headers) as client:
            # Define the UUID of the flow
            flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

            # Define the time window
            start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)
            end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31)

            # Define filters for the flow runs
            filters = FlowRunFilter(
                flow_id={"any_": [flow_id]},
                start_time={"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
            )

            # States to filter and count
            states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashed", "TimedOut"]
            counts = {}
            durations = []

            for state in states:
                flow_runs = await client.read_flow_runs(
                    flow_run_filter=filters,
                    flow_run_filter_state_name=FlowRunFilterStateName(any_=[state])
                )
                counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
                # Calculate duration for each flow run
                for run in flow_runs:
                    start = run.start_time
                    end = run.end_time
                    if start and end:
                        durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

            # Calculate max and min durations
            if durations:
                max_duration = max(durations)
                min_duration = min(durations)
            else:
                max_duration = min_duration = 0

            print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
            print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
            print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

    import asyncio

### Key Points 1. Authentication Header: - Use 
httpx.Auth
to create authentication headers because Prefect doesn’t directly support Basic Auth. 2. Client Usage: - Use 
get_client
from 
prefect.client.orion
to acquire the client in an async context. 3. Async Context: - The script uses asynchronous methods compatible with Prefect 2.x.
Please make sure to replace 
"your-username"
, 
"your-password"
, and 
"your-flow-uuid-here"
with the actual values. This setup should work seamlessly with your Prefect 2.19.4 and Basic Auth requirements. If this approach still doesn't work, please provide the error details, and I'll assist further.
t
@Marvin can we not use client.orion? Or do we have to use it? it keeps creating errors
m
Let's simplify things and avoid potential confusion with the 
client.orion
. Given your environment, the 
HTTPBasicAuth
with requests is straightforward and less prone to errors. We will handle the HTTP requests directly without relying on Prefect Client classes for now. Here's a more direct approach using 
requests
to make API calls with Basic Auth: ### Example Using 
requests
Copy code
python
import datetime
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL
    api_url = "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>"

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "your-flow-uuid-here"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1).isoformat()
    end_time = datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 31).isoformat()

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = {
        "flow": {"id": {"any_": [flow_id]}},
        "start_time": {"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    }

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        # Update filters with state
        filters["state"] = {"name": {"any_": [state]}}
        
        # Make API call with Basic Auth
        response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(api_url, json=filters, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password))
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses
        
        flow_runs = response.json()
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        
        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:
            start = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(run["start_time"])
            end = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(run["end_time"])
            if start and end:
                durations.append((end - start).total_seconds())

    # Calculate max and min durations
    if durations:
        max_duration = max(durations)
        min_duration = min(durations)
    else:
        max_duration = min_duration = 0

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Points: 1. Requests Library: Using 
requests
for HTTP communications with Basic Auth. 2. API Endpoint: Communicating directly with the Prefect API endpoint for flow runs. 3. Filters: The JSON body contains filters for flow_id, start_time, end_time, and state. 4. Durations Calculation: Calculating max and min durations from the flow runs. ### Setup: 1. Replace Credentials: Substitute 
your-username
and 
your-password
with actual credentials. 2. Flow UUID: Replace 
your-flow-uuid-here
with the actual flow UUID. This approach bypasses direct use of Prefect's 
OrionClient
and handles everything via standard HTTP requests, making it simpler to debug and handle authentication. If this still doesn't work or if there are specific errors, please provide those details, and I'll adjust accordingly.

It seems the 
start_time
or 
end_time
might not be in the correct format, or they might be 
None

### Key Changes: 1. Error Handling: Used 
run.get("start_time")
and 
run.get("end_time")
to fetch values and check if they are valid before converting. 2. Validation: Added checks to ensure 
start_time
and 
end_time
are not 
None
. This should fix the 
TypeError
. If the issue persists or you encounter other errors, please provide the specifics, and I'll help resolve them.

@Marvin i finnaly got something back, but it is different than i see in the graph on this page. https://prefect2.lizard.net/flow-runs?type=range&amp;flow=6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2[…]2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z&amp;startDate=2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z how is it different?

To ensure we retrieve consistent data that matches the graph displayed on the Prefect UI, let's: 1. Ensure date-time formats are consistent. 2. Verify that the filters and endpoints we use match how the UI fetches data. ### Verify Date-Time Formats Firstly, let's make sure the dates and times are consistent with the format and time zone used in the UI (ISO 8601 format with 
Z
for UTC). ### Updated Script for Consistency: We'll update the script to make sure it aligns perfectly with your UI filters.
Copy code
python
import datetime

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z"
    end_time = "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = {
        "flow": {"id": {"any_": [flow_id]}},
        "start_time": {"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    }

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    durations = []

    for state in states:
        # Update filters with state
        filters["state"] = {"name": {"any_": [state]}}

        # Make API call with Basic Auth
        response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(api_url, json=filters, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password))
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses

        flow_runs = response.json()
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)

        # Calculate duration for each flow run
        for run in flow_runs:

            end = run.get("end_time")

                end_datetime = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(end.replace("Z", "+00:00"))
                durations.append((end_datetime - start_datetime).total_seconds())

    # Calculate max and min durations
    if durations:
        max_duration = max(durations)
        min_duration = min(durations)
    else:
        max_duration = min_duration = 0

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    print(f"Max duration (seconds): {max_duration}")
    print(f"Min duration (seconds): {min_duration}")

### Key Changes: - Date-Time Consistency: Ensured date-time formats are in ISO 8601 with 
Z
for UTC. - Flow ID and Filters: Matched flow ID and time filters exactly as specified in your URL. ### Verify API Filter Matching: Ensure the API filters used in the script match those used by the Prefect UI. The UI might use additional filters not immediately visible. Here’s how to verify: 1. Inspect Network Calls: - Open your browser’s Developer Tools (often F12 or right-click → Inspect). - Go to the Network tab. - Refresh the Prefect UI page showing the flow runs. - Look for requests going to a similar endpoint, such as 
/api/flow_runs/filter
. 2. Check Request Payload: - Click on one of the requests. - Check the Request Payload section to see the exact filters being sent. Based on this, adjust your script to match precisely the filters used by the UI. If there are specific discrepancies or additional details in the filters that you notice, please let me know, and we can further refine the script to match the UI data exactly.

@Marvin i get runfile('C:/Users/thomas.gerardu/Documents/DUMP/prefect_test.py', wdir='C:/Users/thomas.gerardu/Documents/DUMP') Successful runs: 200 Failed runs: 200 Crashed runs: 200 Timed out runs: 200 Max duration (seconds): 10001.15324 Min duration (seconds): 0.94284 in the UI i see 168 flows and only 2 failed.
m
Given that the numbers from the script do not match the UI, let's add some additional logging to ensure our filters are correct and understand why discrepancies exist. We will: 1. Log the filters being used. 2. Log the response status and content. 3. Simplify the script to only include basic checks initially. Here's the revised script to help us debug: ### Revised Debugging Script
Copy code
python
import datetime
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z"
    end_time = "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = {
        "flow": {"id": {"any_": [flow_id]}},
        "start_time": {"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time}
    }

    # States to filter and count
    states = ["Completed", "Failed", "Crashing", "TimedOut"]
    counts = {}
    all_flow_runs = {}

    for state in states:
        # Update filters with state
        filters["state"] = {"name": {"any_": [state]}}

        # Log filters
        print(f"Using filters: {filters}")

        # Make API call with Basic Auth
        response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(api_url, json=filters, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password))
        
        # Log response status and content
        print(f"Response Status: {response.status_code}")
        if response.status_code != 200:
            print(response.text)

        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses

        flow_runs = response.json()
        all_flow_runs[state] = flow_runs
        counts[state] = len(flow_runs)
        print(f"Flow runs for state {state}: {counts[state]}")

    # Output the results
    print(f"Successful runs: {counts.get('Completed', 0)}")
    print(f"Failed runs: {counts.get('Failed', 0)}")
    print(f"Crashed runs: {counts.get('Crashing', 0)}")
    print(f"Timed out runs: {counts.get('TimedOut', 0)}")
    
    # Verifying some response content
    for state, runs in all_flow_runs.items():
        print(f"Sample {state} run: {runs[0] if runs else 'None'}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Points: 1. Logging Filters: Print the filters being used for each state. 2. Logging Responses: Print the status code and response content if the status is not 200. 3. Logging Flow Runs: Log the number of flow runs for each state after filtering. Run this script and carefully check the printed logs to ensure: - The filters are being set correctly and matching your expectations. - The API responses are what you'd expect (200 status code and correct JSON format). - The flow run counts match what's shown in the UI. ### Next Steps: 1. If the filters are correct: - The script should match the UI, indicating the original issue might be elsewhere. 2. If discrepancies remain: - Provide the sample run information printed in the logs. - Check for differences in the response content vs. UI expectations. If the issues persist or the results still don't match the UI expectations, please share the detailed outputs and any further discrepancies observed. This will help refine the troubleshooting further.

@Marvin ok i want to see the response of a filter when i go to the url in the browser. https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter returns: { "exception_message": "Invalid request received.", "exception_detail": [ { "loc": [ "path", "id" ], "msg": "value is not a valid uuid", "type": "type_error.uuid" } ], "request_body": null } Make a valid request link that i can check in the browser
m
To send a valid request, you'll need to construct a URL that includes the necessary query parameters and ensure that the request body is formatted correctly for the Prefect API. However, since the 
/api/flow_runs/filter
endpoint is likely expecting a POST request with a JSON body, constructing a valid request URL for a browser GET request isn't straightforward. To test in a browser, you'd typically need an endpoint that supports GET requests with query parameters. To facilitate testing, you can use a REST client like Postman or Insomnia that allows you to more easily construct and send POST requests with JSON bodies and authentication. If you still prefer to see the response in a browser, you may use tools like cURL to achieve this from the command line. ### Using cURL for Testing cURL Command:
Copy code
sh
curl -X POST "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>" \
    -u "your-username:your-password" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
            "flow": {"id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]}},
            "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
            "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
        }'
### Using Postman or Insomnia 1. Create a New Request: - Set the method to 
POST
. - Set the URL to 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>
. 2. Set Up Authentication: - Choose Basic Auth and enter your 
username
and 
password
. 3. Set Headers: - Add 
Content-Type: application/json
. 4. Set Body: - Choose the raw option and set the body to JSON. - Paste the following JSON:
Copy code
json
     {
         "flow": {"id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]}},
         "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
         "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
     }
### Explanation of Payload: - `"flow": {"id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]}}`: Specifies the flow ID. - `"start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T220000.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T215959.999Z"}`: Time window filter. - `"state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}`: State filter to retrieve completed runs. This setup should help you test and view the response in tools that support HTTP requests rather than a browser since browsers alone can't easily handle such POST requests with JSON bodies. ### If Using Tools: 1. Inspect the Response: See the results directly in the tool. 2. Adjust Filters: Modify the JSON body to test different states or time windows. ### Validate Command-Line Requests Sometimes, accessing server responses via command-line tools helps understand what data the API provides. Adjust filters and run requests to validate function. If there's any specific aspect or a further request, feel free to ask!

It looks like the JSON body might contain invalid formatting or extra characters. Ensure there are no extra characters and the JSON is correctly formatted. Here’s a clean version to help avoid such issues: ### Clean JSON Body
Copy code
json
{
    "flow": {"id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]}},
    "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
    "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
}
### Steps in Postman: 1. Request Type: POST 2. URL: 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>
3. Authorization: Basic Auth with your 
username
and 
password
4. Headers: - Key: 
Content-Type
- Value: 
application/json
5. Body: - Select raw and ensure the format is set to JSON. - Paste the clean JSON body above. Ensuring the formatting is correct usually resolves parsing issues. Here’s a step-by-step reminder to re-check settings in Postman: ### Postman Step-by-Step: 1. Set Request Type to POST: !

Postman POST Request▾

2. Set URL: !

Set URL▾

3. Authorization: - Switch the authorization type to Basic Auth - Fill in your username and password. !

Basic Auth▾

4. Headers: - Make sure to add the 
Content-Type: application/json
header. !

Set Headers▾

5. Body: - Select raw - Ensure JSON is chosen in the dropdown. - Paste the valid JSON body in. !

Postman Body▾

### Run cURL with JSON Data for Verification You can also use 
cURL
in your command line to verify if the issue persists there: cURL Command:
Copy code
sh
curl -X POST "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>" \
    -u "your-username:your-password" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"flow": {"id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]}}, "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"}, "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}}'
### Debugging Tips: 1. Ensure no invisible characters in JSON body (copy-paste carefully). 2. Check request headers for correct content type and auth. 3. Verify authorization: Double-check correct username/password without extra spaces. Re-try with the clean JSON body in Postman. If there are persistent issues, please share specific error messages, screenshots, or logs to provide further insights.

@Marvin why are we posting on the flow_runs endpoint instead of the flows/filter endpoint?
m
My apologies for the confusion. You are correct; to filter flow runs, the correct endpoint is likely 
/flows/filter
rather than 
/flow_runs/filter
. Let's adjust the approach to use the correct endpoint and structure the request properly. ### Using 
/flows/filter
Endpoint cURL Example:
Copy code
sh
curl -X POST "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flows/filter>" \
    -u "your-username:your-password" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
            "id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]},
            "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
            "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
        }'
### Correcting the Script for Postman 1. Set Request Type to POST 2. URL: 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flows/filter>
3. Authorization: Basic Auth with your 
username
and 
password
4. Headers: - Key: 
Content-Type
- Value: 
application/json
5. Body: - Select raw and ensure the format is set to JSON. - Paste the clean JSON body. ### JSON Body: Ensure the JSON body is correctly formatted for the 
/flows/filter
endpoint:
Copy code
json
{
    "id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]},
    "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
    "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
}
### Postman Steps 1. Request Type: POST 2. URL: 
<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flows/filter>
3. Authorization: Basic Auth with your 
username
and 
password
4. Headers: - Key: 
Content-Type
- Value: 
application/json
5. Body: - Select raw - Ensure JSON is chosen in the dropdown. - Paste the valid JSON body as shown above. ### Script Example Using Requests Library Here is an example using the 
requests
library in Python to send a POST request to the correct endpoint:
Copy code
python
import datetime
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL
    api_url = "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flows/filter>"

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z"
    end_time = "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = {
        "id": {"any_": [flow_id]},
        "start_time": {"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time},
        "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
    }

    # Log filters
    print(f"Using filters: {filters}")

    # Make API call with Basic Auth
    response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(api_url, json=filters, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password))
    
    # Log response status and content
    print(f"Response Status: {response.status_code}")
    print(f"Response Content: {response.json()}")

    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Summary 1. Ensure Correct Endpoint: Use 
/api/flows/filter
instead of 
/flow_runs/filter
. 2. Properly Format JSON: Double-check JSON formatting to avoid extra characters or invisible delimiters. 3. Test with cURL: If testing in the browser isn't feasible, use 
cURL
or tools like Postman. 4. Validate Request: Monitor request response to verify correctness. This should align the request with accurate Prefect API usage for retrieving flow runs or filtering specific flow details. If the issues persist or other details arise from responses, kindly share them for further adjustments.

@Marvin the goal is to see howmany flow_runs were succesfully COMPLETED. I do not know wheter to ask the flows\filter endpoint or the flow_runs\filter endpost. Anyway, you need to know which flow runs belong to which flow in order do this, am i correct or wrong?
m
To determine the number of flow runs that successfully completed for a specific flow, you need to filter the flow_runs based on the corresponding flow ID. You are correct; you need to query the 
flow_runs/filter
endpoint and provide the flow ID as a filter. ### Correct Approach 1. Query the 
flow_runs/filter
 Endpoint. 2. Provide the Flow ID to filter the flow runs that belong to that flow. 3. Filter by State to get the count of successfully completed flow runs. Let’s define the correct process to achieve this using the 
flow_runs/filter
endpoint. ### Steps: 1. Set up filters to include flow ID and the state (Completed). 2. Make a POST request to the 
flow_runs/filter
endpoint. 3. Parse the response to get the count of completed flow runs. ### Example Using 
requests
Library:
Copy code
python
import datetime
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def main():
    # Define Basic Auth credentials
    username = "your-username"
    password = "your-password"

    # Define the API URL
    api_url = "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>"

    # Define the UUID of the flow
    flow_id = "6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"

    # Define the time window
    start_time = "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z"
    end_time = "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"

    # Define filters for the flow runs
    filters = {
        "flow_id": {"any_": [flow_id]},
        "start_time": {"after_": start_time, "before_": end_time},
        "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
    }

    # Log filters
    print(f"Using filters: {filters}")

    # Make API call with Basic Auth
    response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(api_url, json=filters, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password))
    
    # Log response status and content
    print(f"Response Status: {response.status_code}")
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses

    response_json = response.json()
    print(f"Response Content: {response_json}")

    # Extract and count flow runs
    completed_runs = response_json
    num_completed_runs = len(completed_runs)

    # Output the results
    print(f"Number of successfully completed runs: {num_completed_runs}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
### Key Points: 1. Endpoint: Use 
/api/flow_runs/filter
for querying flow runs. 2. Filters: - `flow_id`: Filters by the UUID of the flow. - `start_time`: Specifies the time window for the flow runs. - `state`: Filters by the state name, e.g., 
Completed
. 3. Authentication: Uses Basic Auth with your username and password. ### Testing with cURL: For quick verification, you can use 
cURL
to test the endpoint:
Copy code
sh
curl -X POST "<https://prefect2.lizard.net/api/flow_runs/filter>" \
    -u "your-username:your-password" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
            "flow_id": {"any_": ["6c339f45-7ca1-4fb9-a50f-a4ec29d2d0d3"]},
            "start_time": {"after_": "2024-07-24T22:00:00.000Z", "before_": "2024-07-31T21:59:59.999Z"},
            "state": {"name": {"any_": ["Completed"]}}
        }'
### Summary: - Correct Endpoint: 
/api/flow_runs/filter
- Proper Filtering: Filter by 
flow_id
, 
start_time
, and 
state
to get the completed runs. - Authentication and Headers: Ensure correct headers and basic auth. - Parsing Response: Extract the count directly from the JSON response. By following this corrected approach, you should be able to consistently and accurately retrieve the number of successfully completed flow runs for the given flow.
