A project ID can also be obtained by calling a specific API. For details, see Querying Project Information.

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