Obtaining a Project ID

Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API

You can obtain the project ID by calling the 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 about API authentication, see Authentication.

The following is an example response. The value of id is the project ID. If multiple IDs are returned, obtain the desired project ID based on the actual region (name).

    "projects": [
        {
            "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "is_domain": false,
            "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
            "name": "region_name",
            "description": "",
            "links": {

            },

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 select My Credentials from the drop-down list.

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