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.

You can obtain the required project ID with either of the following methods:

• Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API
• Obtaining a Project ID from the Console

Obtaining the Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain the project ID by calling the IAM API used to query project information based on specified criteria.

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 about API authentication, see Authentication.

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

        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "project_name",
            "description": "",
            "links": {

            },
            "id": "a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99",
            "enabled": true
        }
    ],

        "next": null,
        "previous": null,
