01/20/2023, 11:10 AMHi Hamza, I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I've found it useful to look at the cli code in some cases. For example in
prefect.cli.config.py Copy code
context = prefect.context.get_settings_context()
# Get settings at each level, converted to a flat dictionary for easy comparison
default_settings = prefect.settings.get_default_settings()
env_settings = prefect.settings.get_settings_from_env()
current_profile_settings = context.settingsh

Hi! What are you trying to do more specifically?

Prefect 2 has profiles so the config is a little more complex

https://docs.prefect.io/api-ref/prefect/settings/#prefect.settings has a description explaining the implementation of settings

01/23/2023, 5:22 AM@Zanie, this means that toml files are depreciated in prefect2 ?

01/23/2023, 5:56 AMMy prefect .toml file looks like this
Copy code
[myprofile]
remote_path = "some_path"
host = "my_host"
port = 89
earliest_date = "2015-06-01" Copy code
from prefect import config
#read config
print(config.myprofile.host)z

The Prefect config cannot be used for storing arbitrary data, it’s for Prefect settings only. You can read a toml file as described by Mark above?
