Obtaining a Project ID

Calling an API

You can also obtain a project ID by calling the IAM API used to query project information.

The API used to obtain a project ID is "GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/projects/". {Endpoint} is the IAM endpoint and can be 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 field is the project ID.

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "xx-north-4",
            "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 needs to be specified in the URLs of some APIs. Therefore, you need to obtain a project ID before calling such APIs. To obtain a project ID, perform the following operations:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Hover the mouse pointer over the username and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.

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

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