Client configuration

Qiskit Serverless has a client-server architecture, which means that in order to interact with computational resources, you need to have the client library installed on your machine and configured to communicate with the server.

To install the client library, run:

pip install qiskit-serverless

Next, we need to configure the client to communicate with the provider. This can be done through the ServerlessClient configuration.

Before we can configure the client, we need to know two things: the token (authentication details) and the host of our gateway server.

If you are using the local docker compose setup, your token would be awesome_token and the host would be http://gateway:8000.

If you are using IBMServerlessClient, you only need to pass the tokne. What you can get it from https://quantum.ibm.com.

Once you have all the necessary information, you can start configuring the client:

from qiskit_serverless import ServerlessClient

client = ServerlessClient(
        token="<TOKEN>"
        host="<HOST>",
)

With this configuration in place, you can run your Qiskit Functions.
