Obtaining a Project ID

Scenario

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. Two methods are available:

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. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

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