Matthew_Roeschke @Matthew_Roeschke: Hello. Is there a Python API to get the flow version given a flow name? Or is flow version only accessible via the prefect get flows cli command?

Kyle_McChesney @Kyle_McChesney: This thread covers a number of options. https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/C014Z8DPDSR/p1646856094674219

[March 9th, 2022 12:01 PM] shuchitatripathi2088: to run a flow frrom any code, we need to know the flow_id. how can we get the flow id programmatically?

Kevin_Kho @Kevin_Kho: I am not sure any of those actually hold the flow version. You mean that number that just increases right? I think you need to hit the GraphQL API with client.graphql to retrieve it

from prefect.client import Client 

client = Client()
query="""
query {
  flow(where: {name: {_eq: "schedule_test"}, archived: {_eq: false}}) {
    name
    project{
      name
    }
    version
    archived
  }
}
"""
print(client.graphql(query)["data"]["flow"][0]["version"])

Yes, okay I’ll use that. Thanks!
