Hi all and @Marvin, I'm trying to clean up some of our prefect deployments in our workspaces, and wondering is there a way to download/export list of all deployments, along with their tags and who created them?

To export a list of Prefect deployments along with their tags and creator information, you would typically use the Prefect API or CLI. However, the documentation does not provide a direct command for exporting this information. Here's a general approach you can take: 1. Use the Prefect CLI: You can list deployments using the
prefect deployment
CLI commands. Unfortunately, the CLI does not directly support exporting creator information or tags in one command. 2. Use the Prefect Python Client: You can programmatically retrieve deployment information using the Prefect Python client. Here's a basic outline of how you might do this:
Copy code
python
   from prefect import get_client

   async def list_deployments():
       async with get_client() as client:
           deployments = await client.read_deployments()
           for deployment in deployments:
               print(f"Name: {deployment.name}, Tags: {deployment.tags}, Created By: {deployment.created_by}")

   # Call the function
   import asyncio
   asyncio.run(list_deployments())
This code snippet uses the Prefect client to fetch and print deployment details. Note that
created_by
is a placeholder; you'll need to confirm if this field is available or if it requires additional API calls to fetch user information. 3. API Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the Prefect API documentation or the Prefect Deployment Guide. Given your preference for imperative programming, using the Prefect Python client programmatically might be the most comfortable approach. If you need more specific fields or functionalities, you might need to explore the Prefect API further.
