is there an easy way to look up the current flow ID from within a flow?

Hi <@U013XTS1ZT8> you should be able to get the flow’s ID from context:
```...inside task...
from prefect import context
print(context.get("flow_id"))```

thanks Josh - sorry - I meant I need to look up the run id

`context.get("flow_run_id")` should do the trick

List of available context variables <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/utilities/context.html> :slightly_smiling_face:

And... yes, that answers my next question. For some reason I couldn't find the appropriate docs
