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.
