D-Wave Solver API (SAPI) - Problems is one of 6 APIs that [D-Wave](https://apis.io/providers/d-wave/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 2 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Quantum Computing, Quantum Annealing, Problems, Sampling, and Optimization. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and 2 JSON Schemas.

Submit, monitor, retrieve, and cancel quantum and hybrid problem jobs. Supports the canonical problem types ising, qubo, bqm, cqm, dqm, and nl with three encoding formats (qp, bq, ref). Problems flow through PENDING > IN_PROGRESS > COMPLETED | FAILED | CANCELLED terminal states. Endpoints support blocking submit (single problem), batch async submit (multi-problem), short status polling, full-info retrieval, answer download (inline or binary-ref via SAPI-token), problem messages, and single/bulk cancel. Up to 1,000 problem IDs per status batch.
