Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID from the Console

A project ID needs to be specified in the URLs of some APIs. Therefore, you need to obtain a project ID before calling such APIs. To do so, perform the following operations:

1. Sign up and log in to the management console.
2. Click the username and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.
3. On the API Credentials page, view the project ID in the project list.

   If there are multiple projects in one region, expand Region and view subproject IDs in the Project ID column.

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API

You can also obtain the project ID by calling the API used to query project information based on the specified criteria.

The API used to obtain a project ID is GET https://{endpoint}/v3/projects/, where {endpoint} indicates the IAM endpoint. You can obtain the IAM endpoint from Regions and Endpoints. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

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