Prefect Community

Hi Everyone,

Is there an easy way to call prefect's rest API to kick off a deployment?

There is an option to do this in python with the prefect library, but I want to run a deployment with javascript and an API call

Yes, I’d just take a look at the `create_flow_run_from_deployment` client implementation and the API reference documentation at <https://docs.prefect.io/api-ref/rest-api-reference/#tag/Deployments/operation/create_flow_run_from_deployment_deployments__id__create_flow_run_post>

also <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-trigger-a-flow-run-from-a-deployment-via-api-call-using-python-requests-library-or-from-a-terminal-using-curl/1396|https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-trigger-a-flow-run-from-a-deployment-via-api-call[…]python-requests-library-or-from-a-terminal-using-curl/1396>
