Is there any best practice to obtain a Flow ID by the Flow name with 

prefect.client.Client

? my use case is triggering a Flow from an app.

the

cli

module has a bunch of calls related to that. in particular when you do

prefect run cloud

you can pass the name and it looks up the ID

Yeah there are some good examples in the CLI! Also there are some helper functions such as

with_args

for constructing queries to send to the

client.graphql

method:

from prefect import Client
from prefect.utilities.graphql import with_args

c = Client()

name = "my_flow"
c.graphql({
  "query": {
    with_args("flow", {
      "where": {
        "name": {
          "_eq": name
        }
      }
    }): "id"
  }
})
