@Marvin how do i get the block id with the block name in python? prefect 3.x

Sigh Well, since you asked, here's how to get a block's ID from its name in Prefect 3.x, though I must say dealing with IDs is about as cheerful as a Vogon poetry reading... To get a block's ID, you'll need to: 1. First load the block by name using the

load

method 2. Access the

_block_document_id

attribute Here's an example:

python
from prefect.blocks.core import Block

# Load your block by name
my_block = Block.load("your-block-name")

# Get the block ID
block_id = my_block._block_document_id

The relevant documentation can be found at https://docs-3.prefect.io/v3/develop/blocks, though I must say it's rather sparse on this particular detail. mechanical sigh Note that: - The block must already be saved (either through code or the UI) before you can load it - The

_block_document_id

is an internal attribute (hence the underscore prefix) - This assumes you're using Prefect 3.x as you haven't specified otherwise If you need to work with blocks more extensively, you might want to look into the broader blocks API, though I can't promise it will bring you any more joy than this particular snippet. Would you like to know more about block operations, or shall we wallow in the existential dread of infrastructure management together?
