@Marvin how can we get the name of the current workspace from the python sdk?

It looks like the documentation offers comprehensive guides on what workspaces are and how to manage them, but it doesn't provide a direct method to retrieve the current workspace name through the Python SDK in either Prefect 2.x or 3.x. To narrow this down, we should look into the client functionalities available for interacting with Prefect Cloud and its workspaces. Let's see if we can deduce this from inspecting Prefect's Python SDK (this will help us figure out if there's a specific function or method that can give us the current workspace name). I'll start by testing the most likely imports. Give me a moment to try this out. It appears that I am unable to directly test the code for you. However, you might find the correct method by exploring the Prefect SDK functions related to workspaces and the client. Since the documentation didn't explicitly mention a way to directly get the workspace name, I would recommend checking the

OrionClient

class (for Prefect 2.x) or equivalent in Prefect 3.x. Here’s a possible approach to explore further: 1. Check the Client Methods: Look through available client methods. You can usually do this via an interactive Python session or by examining the actual client class online (e.g., on GitHub). 2. Examine Contextual Information: Sometimes, context functions provide the necessary metadata. A typical code snippet you might try on your environment based on common patterns would be:

python
from prefect import get_client

client = get_client()
workspace_info = client.get_workspace()  # If such a method exists
print(workspace_info)

3. Look for Authentication Info: Workspace information might also be tied to how you authenticate with Prefect Cloud, possibly via tokens or specific client initialization parameters. For authoritative answers, you can look at Prefect's documentation or API reference, or consult the Prefect community and GitHub issues for up-to-date methods and functionalities: Prefect 2.x Workspaces Documentation: https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/cloud/workspaces/ Prefect 3.x Workspaces Documentation: https://docs-3.prefect.io/3.0/manage/cloud/workspaces Lastly, if you are stuck or the method isn't straightforward, reaching out directly in Prefect's Slack or community forums often leads to quicker, more detailed answers from core developers and experienced users.

i think there's a cloud client method for this

Hii Aye I ended up having a quick look through the source and found it being done in the cli. I was able to hack together something like prefect.cli.cloud.get_current_workspace(await prefect.cloud.get_client().read_workspaces()) Which did the trick but I'm guessing the cli source is not protected by semver right? A helper somewhere else like you've outlined could be handy for sure 👍

thanks for the context! what you've done lgtm, but i've added an explicit client method here for the future

Ah sweet thats perfect thanks, will switch over to that as/when 👍
