@Marvin Is there a way to get a profile setting such as 'PREFECT_UI_URL' from the API?

First, I need to determine which version of Prefect you are using, as the implementation details can vary between versions. Could you please confirm whether you're using Prefect 2.x or 3.x? If you're not sure, I can help you determine that as well.

I'm using Prefect 2 @Marvin

In Prefect 2.x, accessing environment variables like

PREFECT_UI_URL

directly through the API isn't directly supported. These settings are usually managed through configuration files or environment variables specified in your Prefect server or agent setup. The documentation emphasizes understanding how to set these environment variables according to your deployment, such as in a local server or when using Prefect Cloud. You can find some relevant information on configuration in their Prefect documentation. For server instances, configurations, including

PREFECT_API_URL

and likely

PREFECT_UI_URL

, are typically set during deployment and can be accessed within the environment where the server or agent is running. If any issues arise regarding these settings not being recognized, as referenced in some GitHub issues, it often relates to how these variables are declared or integrated into your Docker or server environment. It seems the best approach for working with Prefect settings is primarily through your configuration files or using the appropriate CLI commands to set the configuration. If you are trying to automate or retrieve these values, consider scripting this configuration process within your deployment workflow. If you have persistent issues or need to adjust settings dynamically, consider exploring GitHub issues for similar use cases or reporting a new issue if necessary. Here's a related GitHub issue for reference. Let me know if there's something else you'd like to explore!
