Obtaining a Project ID

Scenarios

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. To obtain the project ID:

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

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API

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

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

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

    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
