@Marvin how do I get all my block names on prefect cloud and filter by block type so I get all the gcs buckets?

To list all your block names on Prefect Cloud and filter by block type to get all the GCS buckets, you can follow these steps: 1. List All Blocks: You can list all blocks using the Prefect CLI. Use the command:
Copy code
bash
   prefect block ls
2. Filter by Block Type: To specifically filter for GCS buckets, you can use the block type filter in the Prefect UI or refine your CLI command to target the GCS block type. The GCS bucket block type is often referred to as
GcsBucket
. You can look for this specific type in your list of blocks. 3. Prefect GCP Integration: Make sure you have the
prefect-gcp
library installed if you are interacting with GCS. This library provides the necessary integrations for Google Cloud services. Here's a link to more details on Prefect Blocks and Prefect GCP Integration. If you need more specific commands or examples, feel free to ask!

@Marvin how about with Python client?
m
To retrieve all your block names and filter by block type using the Prefect Python client, you can use the
PrefectClient
to interact with Prefect's API. Here's a concise example of how you can achieve this:
Copy code
python
from prefect.client.orchestration import get_client

async def list_gcs_buckets():
    async with get_client() as client:
        # Fetch all block documents
        blocks = await client.read_block_documents()
        
        # Filter blocks by type 'GcsBucket'
        gcs_buckets = [block for block in blocks if block.block_type.name == "GcsBucket"]
        
        # Print or return the names of the GCS buckets
        for bucket in gcs_buckets:
            print(bucket.name)

# To run the async function
import asyncio
asyncio.run(list_gcs_buckets())
### Key Points: - Get Client: Use
get_client()
to obtain a client instance, which can be used to interact with the Prefect API. - Read Block Documents: Use
client.read_block_documents()
to retrieve all block documents. - Filter by Type: Filter the blocks by checking if
block.block_type.name
equals
"GcsBucket"
. For more details, refer to the Prefect Client Documentation. If you have further questions, feel free to ask!

don't I need to use my credentials for the client? with your code I don't get any printout
m
It seems there is an issue with your import statements for
prefect_gcp
. The module
prefect_gcp
is not found, which suggests that the Prefect GCP integration package might not be installed in your environment. Here's how you can fix the issue: 1. Install Prefect GCP: Make sure you have the
prefect-gcp
package installed. You can install it using pip:
Copy code
bash
   pip install prefect-gcp
2. Use the Correct Credentials: If you want to use your credentials to authenticate the client, you should ensure that the credentials are correctly configured and loaded. The
GcpCredentials.load("my-gcp-credentials")
should be replaced with your actual credentials if they are stored as a Prefect block. 3. Revised Code: With the correct setup, your code should look like this:
Copy code
python
   from prefect.client.orchestration import get_client
   from prefect_gcp.cloud_storage import GcsBucket
   from prefect_gcp import GcpCredentials

   async def list_gcs_buckets():
       async with get_client() as client:
           # Fetch all block documents
           blocks = await client.read_block_documents()
           
           # Filter blocks by type 'GcsBucket'
           gcs_buckets = [block for block in blocks if block.block_type.name == "GcsBucket"]
           
           # Print or return the names of the GCS buckets
           for bucket in gcs_buckets:
               print(bucket.name)

   # To run the async function
   import asyncio
   asyncio.run(list_gcs_buckets())
Make sure your credentials are correctly set up in Prefect Cloud and that you have access to the necessary blocks. If you continue to have issues, ensure that the credentials are correctly loaded and that they have the appropriate permissions.
