# `prefect.server.api.dependencies`

Utilities for injecting FastAPI dependencies.

## Functions

### `provide_request_api_version` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L23" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
provide_request_api_version(x_prefect_api_version: str = Header(None)) -> Version | None
```

### `LimitBody` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L105" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
LimitBody() -> Any
```

A `fastapi.Depends` factory for pulling a `limit: int` parameter from the
request body while determining the default from the current settings.

### `get_created_by` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L134" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
get_created_by(prefect_automation_id: Optional[UUID] = Header(None, include_in_schema=False), prefect_automation_name: Optional[str] = Header(None, include_in_schema=False)) -> Optional[schemas.core.CreatedBy]
```

A dependency that returns the provenance information to use when creating objects
during this API call.

### `get_updated_by` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L156" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
get_updated_by(prefect_automation_id: Optional[UUID] = Header(None, include_in_schema=False), prefect_automation_name: Optional[str] = Header(None, include_in_schema=False)) -> Optional[schemas.core.UpdatedBy]
```

A dependency that returns the provenance information to use when updating objects
during this API call.

### `is_ephemeral_request` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L172" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
is_ephemeral_request(request: Request) -> bool
```

A dependency that returns whether the request is to an ephemeral server.

### `get_prefect_client_version` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L184" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
get_prefect_client_version(user_agent: Annotated[Optional[str], Header(include_in_schema=False)] = None) -> Optional[str]
```

Attempts to parse out the Prefect client version from the User-Agent header.

### `docket` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L201" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```

## Classes

### `EnforceMinimumAPIVersion` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/server/api/dependencies.py#L43" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

FastAPI Dependency used to check compatibility between the version of the api
and a given request.

Looks for the header 'X-PREFECT-API-VERSION' in the request and compares it
to the api's version. Rejects requests that are lower than the minimum version.
