Question

Dear Orion community 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

Zanie · Answer

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

Xavier Babu · Answer

local to the agent s machine

Xavier Babu · Answer

where I can run prefect deployment create manually CLI

Zanie · Answer

The JSON you want for the `flow data` field would look like this ` encoding file blob path to flow py `

Xavier Babu · Answer

Thanks let me try

Xavier Babu · Answer

It works Thank you so much Michael

Xavier Babu · Answer

Just curious do we have an option if it is a remote path

Zanie · Answer

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

Zanie · Answer

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

Xavier Babu · Answer

Thanks Michael Do you have any example for fsspec or block

Xavier Babu · Answer

sample json

Zanie · Answer

You can use a blob like `<s3 your bucket your file>` with the same format as above for using fsspec

Zanie · Answer

I m pretty sure this is being changed right now

Zanie · Answer

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
