How Do I Obtain a Token?

You can use a token for authentication when calling APIs. To obtain a token, use the standard API of Identity and Access Management (IAM).

  • Run the following command to obtain the token in the CN South-Guangzhou region: 
    curl -k -i  -X POST   https://iam.cn-south-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/tokens  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  -d '{
  "auth": {
    "identity": {
      "methods": [
        "password"
      ],
      "password": {
        "user": {
          "name": "HUAWEI CLOUD account",
          "password": "Login password",
          "domain": {
             "name": "HUAWEI CLOUD account"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "scope": {
      "project": {
        "name": "cn-south-1"
      }
    }
  }
}'
  • Run the following command to obtain the token in the CN North-Beijing1 region: 
    curl -k -i  -X POST   https://iam.cn-north-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/tokens  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  -d '{
  "auth": {
    "identity": {
      "methods": [
        "password"
      ],
      "password": {
        "user": {
          "name": "HUAWEI CLOUD account",
          "password": "Login password",
          "domain": {
            "name": "HUAWEI CLOUD account"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "scope": {
      "project": {
        "name": "cn-north-1"
      }
    }
  }
}'

    The value of X-Subject-Token in the response header is the token. A token obtained in one region can only be used to call FunctionGraph in this region.
