Obtaining a Project ID

Scenario

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. Obtain the required project ID using either of the following methods:

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

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain the project ID by calling the API for Querying Project Information Based on 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 Regions and Endpoints. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

In the following example, id indicates the project ID.

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "xxxxxxxx",
            "description": "",
            "links": {
                "next": null,
                "previous": null,
                "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects/a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99"
            },
            "id": "a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99",
            "enabled": true
        }
    ],
    "links": {
        "next": null,
        "previous": null,
        "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects"
    }
}

Obtaining a Project ID from the Console

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. To obtain a project ID, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Hover the cursor over the username in the upper right corner and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.

   On the API Credentials page, view the project ID in the project list.
