To get started using qBraid Lab or other qBraid platform/cloud services, sign in or register at
account.qbraid.com. Your account page serves as the central hub for managing
your qBraid subscription, credits, organizations, quantum jobs, Lab instances, and more.
Each qBraid user is assigned a unique API key, essential for accessing qBraid cloud services and managing resources remotely.
This key enables you to submit quantum jobs to over 10 available QPUs and simulators through various
interfaces such as the qBraid Runtime, direct connections to our universal Quantum API endpoints, or other applications
compatible with qBraid Quantum Jobs.
The security of your API key is paramount as it grants access to your qBraid credits and other sensitive resources.
Follow these best practices to safeguard your key:
Regular Rotation: Periodically rotate your API key to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
To rotate your API key, click the “Refresh” icon adjacent to the “Copy” icon. Note that once a new API key is generated,
the previous key is immediately invalidated.
Secure Storage: Avoid storing your API key in your source code or online. Use environment variables or secure vault
solutions to manage your keys safely. Only save your API key to disk if the device is trusted and secure.
Monitor Usage: Keep track of API key usage and review associated logs regularly to detect any unauthorized or unusual activities.
