Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID on the Console

When calling APIs, you need to enter a project ID in some URLs. To obtain a project ID, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click the username and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.

   On the My Credentials page, view the project ID.

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an 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, where {Endpoint} indicates the IAM endpoint. You can obtain the IAM endpoint from Regions and Endpoints. For details on API calling authentication, see Authentication.

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