If I need to deploy a flow (createflow or deployflow) via Orion REST API, how can I pass the flow-location, so that it can pickup the python file from a location?

Is the location going to be local to the agent’s machine or is it a remote path?

The JSON you want for the
flow_data'{"encoding": "file", "blob": "/path/to/flow.py"}'x

If it’s a remote path, we’ll use fsspec by default to load it

You can construct a “block” document that uses a storage block to read from the path but we’ll be changing that soon and it’s kind of hard to construct so I wouldn’t recommend that at this point.

You can use a blob like

(I’m pretty sure; this is being changed right now)

Using a block is more complicated as you need to register it beforehand and use an ID — I wouldn’t recommend doing that manually for now. We’ll have easier methods in the future.
