Is this a question for Prefect 2 0 or 1 0 < Florian Guily>

Florian Guily · Answer

1 0 slightly smiling face

Anna Geller · Answer

the short answer is yes but for things such as duration you may need to do more work to get it <https docs prefect io api latest utilities context html context>

Anna Geller · Answer

e g ```prefect context get flow run id prefect context get flow id ``` there is also scheduled start time depends on what you want to do but context is a good place to get more info

Anna Geller · Answer

there s also FlowRunView <https docs prefect io api latest backend flow run html flowrunview> but a bit more advanced and more heavy since this actually performs GraphQL queries under the hood
