Question

hi folks I m curious to know how I would go about triggering a flow via prefect cloud from my local machine I have the following use cases 1 run a prefect job in our CICD process Here I m envisioning having some sort of API Key present in our CICD and perhaps making a post request to <http prefect io|prefect io> to trigger the flow I m interested in 2 trigger failed jobs manually but rather than logging into prefect cloud and hitting the rocket ship icon I d prefer to not leave my terminal maybe there is a client for prefect cloud already so we wouldn t have to post requests using curl but I m comfortable curl ing my way through this Thanks in advance folks

Hey You can use the prefect CLI for both of these easily e g ```prefect run name your flow name ```

Here are some examples from the `prefect run help` menu ``` Run registered flow with the backend by flow name and watch execution $ prefect run n hello world watch Run registered flow with the backend with custom labels $ prefect run n hello world label example label hello Run registered flow with the backend by flow id and exit after creation $ prefect run i 9a1cd70c 37d7 4cd4 ab91 d41c2700300d Run registered flow and pipe flow run id to another program $ prefect run n hello world quiet | post run sh Run registered flow and execute locally without an agent $ prefect run n hello world execute```
