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 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. Select Headers, add KEY as X-Auth-Token, and set VALUE to the obtained token. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

The following is an example response. For example, if FRS is deployed in the ap-southeast-1 region, the value of name in the response body is ap-southeast-1. The value of id in projects is the project ID.
