QiskitRuntimeService.upload_program¶

QiskitRuntimeService.upload_program(data, metadata=None)[source]¶

Upload a runtime program.

In addition to program data, the following program metadata is also required:

name

max_execution_time

Program metadata can be specified using the metadata parameter or individual parameter (for example, name and description). If the same metadata field is specified in both places, the individual parameter takes precedence. For example, if you specify:

upload_program(metadata={"name": "name1"}, name="name2")

name2 will be used as the program name.

Parameters:

data (str) – Program data or path of the file containing program data to upload.
metadata (Union[Dict, str, None]) –
Name of the program metadata file or metadata dictionary. A metadata file needs to be in the JSON format. The parameters, return_values, and interim_results should be defined as JSON Schema. See program/program_metadata_sample.json for an example. The fields in metadata are explained below.
- name: Name of the program. Required.
- max_execution_time: Maximum execution time in seconds. Required.
- description: Program description.
- is_public: Whether the runtime program should be visible to the public.
  The default is False.
- spec: Specifications for backend characteristics and input parameters
  required to run the program, interim results and final result.
  - backend_requirements: Backend requirements.
  - parameters: Program input parameters in JSON schema format.
  - return_values: Program return values in JSON schema format.
  - interim_results: Program interim results in JSON schema format.

Return type:

str

Returns:

Program ID.

Raises:

IBMInputValueError – If required metadata is missing.
RuntimeDuplicateProgramError – If a program with the same name already exists.
IBMNotAuthorizedError – If you are not authorized to upload programs.
IBMRuntimeError – If the upload failed.
