Publish on Marketplace

Once you have created your service, you can offer it to other users by publishing it on the Kipu Quantum Hub Marketplace. To publish your service, follow the steps below.

Create an API Description using OpenAPI Specification v3.0

Each on-premise service needs to provide a description of the service interface and input data to let other users discover and understand the capabilities of your service. Further, this is the technical baseline for the platform to integrate your on-premise service. The platform uses the OpenAPI Specification v3 (OAS3) to describe the API of an on-premise service.

You can change the API description of your service at any time by clicking on Edit Service on the service details page.

Create a Pricing Plan

A pricing plan for an on-premise service consists of the products that you, as a service provider, want to charge your customers for. For example, if you want to charge for API calls, CPU time, and memory time, create a product for each of these. To charge your customers, report the usage to our Metering API.

You can create a pricing plan for your service by following these steps:

1. On the details page of your service, click on Create Pricing Plan.
2. On the create pricing plan page, add your products to the pricing plan. For each product provide the following information:
   • Name: The name of the product, e.g, CPU Time.
   • Unit Price: The price per unit of the product, e.g., 0.0001 EUR.
   • Unit: The unit describes how the product is sold and appears as a label on customer's invoices. For example, if your product is CPU Time and is billed per second, the unit would be second.
3. Click on Create Plan.
4. On the services details page you will see your pricing plan with its products.

Publish your Service to the Marketplace

Finally, to publish your service to the Marketplace, click on Publish to Marketplace on the service details page. Now, other users can discover and subscribe to your service.
