# qiskit.synthesis.generate\_basic\_approximations
<Function id="qiskit.synthesis.generate_basic_approximations" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.23/qiskit/synthesis/discrete_basis/generate_basis_approximations.py" signature="generate_basic_approximations(basis_gates, depth, filename=None)">
Generates a list of `GateSequence``s with the gates in ``basic_gates`.
**Parameters**
* **basis\_gates** (*list\[str |* [*Gate*](qiskit.circuit.Gate "qiskit.circuit.Gate")*]*) The gates from which to create the sequences of gates.
* **depth** (*int*) The maximum depth of the approximations.
* **filename** (*str | None*) If provided, the basic approximations are stored in this file.
**Return type**
list\[GateSequence]
**Returns**
List of `GateSequences` using the gates in `basic_gates`.
**Raises**
**ValueError** If `basis_gates` contains an invalid gate identifier.
