Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

The API for obtaining a project ID is GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/projects, where {Endpoint} indicates the IAM endpoint obtained from Regions and Endpoints. For details on API calling authentication, see Authentication.

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

{
    "projects": Query
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "XXXXX",
            "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 on the Console

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. You can obtain a project ID on the console.

The following procedure describes how to obtain a project ID:

1. Sign up and log in to the management console.
2. Hover over the username and choose Basic Information from the drop-down list.
3. Click Manage next to Security Credentials.

   On the My Credentials page, view project IDs in the project list.

   If there are multiple projects in one region, expand Region and view sub-project IDs in the Project ID column.
