Obtaining a Project ID

A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. You can obtain the project ID using either of the following methods:

Obtaining a Project ID on the Console

To obtain a project ID on the console, perform the following operations:

  1. Log in to the Identity and Access Management (IAM) console.
  2. Move the cursor to the username in the upper right corner and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.
  3. On the API Credentials page, view project IDs in the project list.

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API

You can also obtain a project ID by calling a specific API. For details, see Querying Project Information of IAM.

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 Endpointsthe administrator. For details about API authentication, see Authentication.

In the following example, id indicates a project ID.
