# How to generate a custom SDK for your deployments

> Generate a custom Python SDK from your deployments for IDE autocomplete and type checking.

The `prefect sdk generate` command creates a typed Python file from your [deployments](/v3/concepts/deployments). This gives you IDE autocomplete and static type checking when triggering deployment runs programmatically.

<Note>
  This feature is in **beta**. APIs may change in future releases.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* An active Prefect API connection (Prefect Cloud or self-hosted server)
* At least one [deployment](/v3/how-to-guides/deployments/create-deployments) in your workspace

## Generate an SDK from the CLI

Generate a typed SDK for all deployments in your workspace:

```bash  theme={null}
prefect sdk generate --output ./my_sdk.py
```

### Filter to specific flows or deployments

Generate an SDK for specific flows:

```bash  theme={null}
prefect sdk generate --output ./my_sdk.py --flow my-etl-flow
```

Generate an SDK for specific deployments:

```bash  theme={null}
prefect sdk generate --output ./my_sdk.py --deployment my-flow/production
```

Combine multiple filters:

```bash  theme={null}
prefect sdk generate --output ./my_sdk.py \
    --flow etl-flow \
    --flow data-sync \
    --deployment analytics/daily
```

## Run deployments with the generated SDK

The generated SDK provides a `deployments.from_name()` method that returns a typed deployment object:

```python  theme={null}
from my_sdk import deployments

# Get a deployment by name
deployment = deployments.from_name("my-etl-flow/production")

# Run with parameters
future = deployment.run(
    source="s3://my-bucket/data",
    batch_size=100,
)

# Get the flow run ID immediately
print(f"Started flow run: {future.flow_run_id}")

# Wait for completion and get result
result = future.result()
```

### Configure run options

Use `with_options()` to set tags, scheduling, and other run configuration:

```python  theme={null}
from my_sdk import deployments
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

future = deployments.from_name("my-etl-flow/production").with_options(
    tags=["manual", "production"],
    idempotency_key="daily-run-2024-01-15",
    scheduled_time=datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1),
    flow_run_name="custom-run-name",
).run(
    source="s3://bucket",
)
```

Available options:

* `tags`: Tags to apply to the flow run
* `idempotency_key`: Unique key to prevent duplicate runs
* `work_queue_name`: Override the work queue
* `as_subflow`: Run as a subflow of the current flow
* `scheduled_time`: Schedule the run for a future time
* `flow_run_name`: Custom name for the flow run

### Override job variables

Use `with_infra()` to override work pool job variables:

```python  theme={null}
from my_sdk import deployments

future = deployments.from_name("my-etl-flow/production").with_infra(
    image="my-registry/my-image:latest",
    cpu_request="2",
    memory="8Gi",
).run(
    source="s3://bucket",
)
```

The available job variables depend on your work pool type. The generated SDK provides type hints for the options available on each deployment's work pool.

### Async usage

In an async context, use `run_async()`:

```python  theme={null}
import asyncio
from my_sdk import deployments

async def trigger_deployment():
    future = await deployments.from_name("my-etl-flow/production").run_async(
        source="s3://bucket",
    )
    result = await future.result()
    return result

# Run it
result = asyncio.run(trigger_deployment())
```

### Chain methods together

```python  theme={null}
from my_sdk import deployments

future = (
    deployments.from_name("my-etl-flow/production")
    .with_options(tags=["production"])
    .with_infra(memory="8Gi")
    .run(source="s3://bucket", batch_size=100)
)
```

## Regenerate the SDK after changes

The SDK is generated from server-side metadata. Regenerate it when:

* Deployments are added, removed, or renamed
* Flow parameter schemas change
* Work pool job variable schemas change

The `generate` command overwrites the existing file:

```bash  theme={null}
prefect sdk generate --output ./my_sdk.py
```

<Tip>
  Add SDK regeneration to your CI/CD pipeline to keep it in sync with your deployments.
