Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain a project ID by calling the API for querying project information.

The API for obtaining a project ID is GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/projects/. {Endpoint} indicates the endpoint of IAM, which can be obtained from Endpoints. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

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

Obtaining the Region to Which a Domain Name Belongs

Log in to the Live console and determine the region to which the domain name belongs based on the following conditions.

• If you are an existing user, the region to which the domain name belongs is displayed in the upper left corner of the Live console, as shown in Figure 3.
  Figure 3 Live console
  
• If the region information is not displayed in the upper left corner when you access the Live console, as shown in Figure 4. In this case, you only need to determine whether you are accessing the Chinese mainland website or the international website of Huawei Cloud.
  • Huawei Cloud Chinese mainland website: the domain name in the Live console URL is console.huaweicloud.com, and the region is CN North-Beijing 4.
  • Huawei Cloud international website: If the domain name in the URL of the Live console is console-intl.huaweicloud.com, the region is AP-Singapore.
