Obtaining a Project ID

Scenario

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. You need to obtain a project ID in advance. You can obtain the project ID in either of the following ways:

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API
Obtaining the Project ID on the Console

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain a project ID by calling the API used to query projects based on specified criteria. 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 about API authentication, see Authentication.

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