Obtaining a Project ID
======================

Scenarios
---------

When calling APIs, you need to specify the project ID in some URLs. To do so, you need to obtain the project ID first. Two methods are available:

-  :ref:`Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API <gaussdb_10_0004__section85791974381>`
-  :ref:`Obtain a Project ID from the Console <gaussdb_10_0004__section196091152113715>`

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API
------------------------------------------

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 <https://docs.otc.t-systems.com/en-us/endpoint/index.html>`__. For details about API authentication, see :ref:`Authentication <gaussdb_03_0001>`.

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