How to get the result of an Activity Execution in Python

Use start_activity() to start an Activity and return its handle, ActivityHandle. Use execute_activity() to return the results.

You must provide either schedule_to_close_timeout or start_to_close_timeout.

execute_activity() is a shortcut for await start_activity(). An asynchronous execute_activity() helper is provided which takes the same arguments as start_activity() and awaits on the result. execute_activity() should be used in most cases unless advanced task capabilities are needed.

@workflow.defn
class YourWorkflow:
    @workflow.run
    async def run(self, name: str) -> str:
        return await workflow.execute_activity(
            your_activity, name, schedule_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=5)
        )
