how can I access the prefect cloud graphql api using an api key? Do I somehow create a jwt token from the api key?

If you use the interactive API in the UI, it’s already authenticated. If using the Prefect Client Python object, it fetches whatever authentication is stored from

prefect auth login --key <YOUR-KEY>

but if the key is not persisted, the Client can take in an API key

say i am creating a new UI and want to access the cloud api from the new UI

In Python code it would be:

query = """query {flow{ name, id}}"""


url = '<https://api.prefect.io>'
r = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(url, json={'query': query}, headers={"authorization": "Bearer API_TOKEN"})

thanks @Kevin Kho your the man!
