To run a deployment via the Prefect API, you'll need to interact with the Prefect server's API endpoints. Prefect provides a way to trigger flow runs, manage deployments, and more through its API. Here's a general overview of how you might approach this: 1. Create a Deployment: First, ensure that you have a deployment created for your flow. Deployments in Prefect store metadata for remote orchestration, including schedules and infrastructure configurations. You can create deployments using the
prefect deploy
command, which utilizes a
prefect.yaml
file. More details can be found in the Prefect deployment documentation. 2. Trigger a Deployment via API: Once your deployment is set up, you can trigger it via the API. While the exact API endpoint for triggering a deployment isn't detailed in the excerpts I found, Prefect typically exposes RESTful endpoints to interact with deployments and flow runs. You would need to authenticate with the Prefect server and send a POST request to the appropriate endpoint, likely something similar to
/api/deployments/{deployment_id}/runs
. 3. API Client: Prefect's Python client includes methods for interacting with the API programmatically. You might want to explore using
get_client
from Prefect's API to connect and execute operations. For more specific instructions, including the exact API endpoints and payloads, you would need to refer to the Prefect API documentation or the Prefect server's Swagger UI if available. If you have specific details about your deployment or API setup, I can help refine this guidance further.
