Obtaining a Project ID

Scenarios

A project ID is required for some URLs when APIs are called. Therefore, obtain a project ID in advance. Two methods are available:

Call an API
Use the console

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain the project ID by calling the API used to obtain projects based on 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 Endpoints. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

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

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "project_name",
            "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"
    }
}
