# AlgorithmJob
<Class id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.45/qiskit/algorithms/algorithm_job.py" signature="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob(function, *args, **kwargs)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `PrimitiveJob`
This empty class is introduced for typing purposes.
**Parameters**
**function** a callable function to execute the job.
## Attributes
### version
<Attribute id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.version" attributeValue="1" />
## Methods
### backend
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.backend" signature="backend()">
Return the backend where this job was executed.
**Return type**
[*Backend*](qiskit.providers.Backend "qiskit.providers.backend.Backend")
</Function>
### cancel
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.cancel" signature="cancel()">
Attempt to cancel the job.
</Function>
### cancelled
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.cancelled" signature="cancelled()">
Return whether the job has been cancelled.
**Return type**
[bool](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.12)")
</Function>
### done
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.done" signature="done()">
Return whether the job has successfully run.
**Return type**
[bool](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.12)")
</Function>
### in\_final\_state
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.in_final_state" signature="in_final_state()">
Return whether the job is in a final job state such as `DONE` or `ERROR`.
**Return type**
[bool](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.12)")
</Function>
### job\_id
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.job_id" signature="job_id()">
Return a unique id identifying the job.
**Return type**
[str](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.12)")
</Function>
### result
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.result" signature="result()">
Return the results of the job.
**Return type**
*T*
</Function>
### running
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.running" signature="running()">
Return whether the job is actively running.
**Return type**
[bool](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.12)")
</Function>
### status
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.status" signature="status()">
Return the status of the job, among the values of `JobStatus`.
</Function>
### submit
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.submit" signature="submit()">
Submit the job to the backend for execution.
</Function>
### wait\_for\_final\_state
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmJob.wait_for_final_state" signature="wait_for_final_state(timeout=None, wait=5, callback=None)">
Poll the job status until it progresses to a final state such as `DONE` or `ERROR`.
**Parameters**
* **timeout** ([*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.12)") *| None*) Seconds to wait for the job. If `None`, wait indefinitely.
* **wait** ([*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.12)")) Seconds between queries.
* **callback** ([*Callable*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Callable "(in Python v3.12)") *| None*)
Callback function invoked after each query. The following positional arguments are provided to the callback function:
* job\_id: Job ID
* job\_status: Status of the job from the last query
* job: This BaseJob instance
Note: different subclass might provide different arguments to the callback function.
**Raises**
[**JobTimeoutError**](providers#qiskit.providers.JobTimeoutError "qiskit.providers.JobTimeoutError") If the job does not reach a final state before the specified timeout.
</Function>
