Prefect Community

Hey, i'm currently trying to do a simple ETL flow that connects to an API and fetch some records (i'm quite new to Prefect). I have to provide an API key to connect to this API as a query parameter. Is there some good practice regarding manipulation of this key ? Can i write it to another file that the flow will read ? i'm testing this locally but this will go in production env in the future (i hope)

<https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/concepts/secrets.html|Prefect Secrets> are definitely what you're looking for. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions regarding this.

No worries :slightly_smiling_face: I know the doc can be overwhelming at first. Pointing relevant parts of the documentation to newcomers is part of this Slack server's purpose.
