Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

A project ID can also be obtained by calling a specific API. For details, see Querying Project Information.

The API for obtaining a project ID is GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/projects/. {Endpoint} indicates the endpoint of IAM, which can be obtained from Regions and Endpoints. For details on API authentication, see Authentication.

The following is an example response. The value of id is the project ID.

        { 
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b", 
            "is_domain": false, 
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",

Obtaining a Project ID from the Management Console

When calling APIs, you need to specify the project ID in certain URLs. To do so, you need to obtain the project ID first. To obtain a project ID, perform the following operations:

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Hover your pointer over the username and select Basic Information from the drop-down list.
  3. On the page that is displayed, click Manage in Security Credentials.

    On the Projects tab of the API Credentials page, view the project ID in the project list.
