Obtaining a Project ID

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 of IAM.

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

In the following example, id indicates the project ID.

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "xxxxxxxx",
            "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 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. Click the username and choose Basic Information from the drop-down list.
3. On the Basic Information page, click Manage next to Security Credentials.

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