Getting Started

You can install qbraid-core from PyPI with:

python -m pip install qbraid-core

Local configuration

After installing qbraid-core, you must configure your account credentials:

1. Create a qBraid account or log in to your existing account by visiting account.qbraid.com
2. Copy your API Key from the left side of your account page:
3. Save your API key from step 2 in local configuration file. On Linux and macOS, this file is located at ~/.qbraid/qbraidrc, where ~ corresponds to your home ($HOME) directory. On Windows, the equivalent default location is %USERPROFILE%\.qbraid\qbraidrc.

[default]
api-key = YOUR_KEY
url = https://api.qbraid.com/api

Or generate your ~/.qbraid/qbraidrc file via the qbraid-core Python interface:

>>> from qbraid_core import QbraidSession
>>> session = QbraidSession(api_key='API_KEY')
>>> session.save_config()
>>> session.get_available_services()
['chat', 'environments', 'quantum', 'storage']

Other credential configuration methods are available using the qBraid-CLI.

Verify setup

After configuring your qBraid credentials, verify your setup by running the following from a Python interpreter:

>>> import qbraid_core
>>> quantum_client = qbraid_core.client('quantum')
>>> device_data = quantum_client.search_devices()
>>> for item in device_data:
...     print(item['qbraid_id'])
