Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID from the Console

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. To obtain a project ID, perform the following operations:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Hover the mouse over the username and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.
3. On the API Credentials page, view the project ID in the project list.

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

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.

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 is the project ID.
