Prefect Community

Hey guys - I’m new to Prefect but I’m considering using it at my startup, however, I have a question -  how easy would it be to integrate Prefect with a web app for end user?

Our users needs to be able to initiate a data processing job from our web app (not the Prefect UI) and also change some parameters of the job (what data to process).

Does Prefect come with a REST API endpoint from which jobs can be ran and job parameters changed?

Thanks!
Simon

You can definitely use Prefect to trigger a parametrized workflow via an API call. This post shows how to do it <https://www.prefect.io/blog/how-to-make-your-data-pipelines-more-dynamic-using-parameters-in-prefect> in Section #4

Thanks <@U02H1A95XDW>, looks like what I need! Btw I tried your tutorial <https://towardsdatascience.com/distributed-data-pipelines-made-easy-with-aws-eks-and-prefect-106984923b30> but I got stuck at this step:

Is`prefect auth login -t &lt;MyTokenToRegisterFlows&gt;`deprecated?

yup, it’s now:
```prefect auth login -k API_KEY```
