Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> I have two different URLs for prefect API and for UI. Can I change the URL returned by the prefect to point to UI instead to API?

Yes, you can change the URL that Prefect returns to point to the UI instead of the API by configuring certain environment variables.

For Prefect 2.x:
- You need to set the `PREFECT_UI_API_URL` environment variable to the external proxy URL for the UI.

Example:
```
export PREFECT_UI_API_URL="<https://your-prefect-ui-url/api>"
```

Detailed documentation can be found here: <https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/guides/settings/>

For Prefect 3.x:
- The same environment variable `PREFECT_UI_API_URL` should be set to your external proxy URL.

Example:
```
export PREFECT_UI_API_URL="<https://your-prefect-ui-url/api>"
```

You can refer to this page for more details: <https://docs-3.prefect.io/3.0/manage/settings-and-profiles>

This configuration helps especially when you are running the Prefect UI behind a reverse proxy like Nginx or Traefik.
