Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling the API

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

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

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