}Create a new job that reuses the circuit and workload of an existing job. You can override fields such as
name, shots, backend, settings, and metadata in the request body — any field you omit is inherited from the source job. The cloned job is queued as a brand new job, and the original is left unchanged.
This is useful for re-running a job with a different number of shots, targeting another backend, or adjusting error mitigation settings without rebuilding the circuit.Authorizations
API keys are associated with a user and can be created on the IonQ Quantum Cloud application. To authenticate, prefix your API Key with apiKey and place it in the Authorization request header. Ex: Authorization: apiKey your-api-key
Path Parameters
The UUID of the job to clone.
