Scenario

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. Two methods are available:

Obtain a Project ID by Calling an API
Obtain a Project ID from the Console

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

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

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 about API authentication, see Authentication.

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

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "project_name",
            "description": "",
            "links": {
                "next": null,
                "previous": null,
                "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects/a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99"
            },
            "id": "a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99",
            "enabled": true
        }
    ],
    "links": {
        "next": null,
        "previous": null,
        "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects"
    }
}
