Install with

pip install git+https://github.com/NCCR-SPIN/archiver4qiskit.git

Import the main tools with

from qiskitarchiver import submit_job, Archive, get_archive

To submit a job use

archive_id = submit_job(circuits, backend_name)

Here circuits are the circuits to run and backend_name is a string specifying the backend (for example 'ibmq_bogota' or 'aer_simulator'). Other than backend_name, arguments from this are passed directly on to the relevant run() function (which means you need to transpile your circuits first). The returned archive_id is a string used to retrieve the job from locally saved files.

To create an archive from an existing job object, use

archive = Archive(job)

you can then get the archive ID (used to reference it later) using

archive_id = archive.archive_id

To retreive a previously stored archive object use

archive = get_archive(archive_id)

This object functions much the same as the Qiskit job object. For example, archive.result() provides the results. Once obtained, the results are incorporated into the saved archive.
