Not sure about your exact question though since I thought you are using Cloud 2 0

Is cloud 2 the web interface

If 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 <http beta prefect io|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

Ahh ok yeah we are using it but we need a better overview dashboard so we need to access the api

Anna Geller · Answer

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

Yeah but some methods are not implemented yet e g I can create a block document but not delete one Just as one example

Anna Geller · Answer

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
