Not sure about your exact question though since I thought you are using Cloud 2.0

06/08/2022, 3:53 PMIf this was your question, then I can only say that we need some basic features which doesn't work/exist at the moment. Like a good overview of past flows or a functioning search. So we are mirroring the dashboard. I already found the authentication stuff in the prefect Python client (Authorization: Baerer Header).

Cloud 2.0 is beta.prefect.io - our Cloud orchestration product which already includes authentication
I would love to hear more about what you are trying to accomplish purely on a business level without talking about features - perhaps your use case is already possible

You can interact with the API directly from Python using the Orion client - the docs link you sent has a reference to the Client

Blocks are quite advanced concept - the idea behind blocks is that you would interact with it only from the UI (on the roadmap)- they are a bit complex so use the underlying API at your own risk if you understood how it all works together
