Obtaining a Project ID
======================
Scenarios
---------
A project ID is required for some URLs when an API is called. Therefore, you need to obtain a project ID in advance. Two methods are available:
- :ref:`Obtain the Project ID by Calling an API `
- :ref:`Obtain the Project ID from the Console `

Obtain 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 the 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 `__.
The following is an example response. The value of **id** is the project ID.
.. code-block::
{
"projects": [
{
"domain_id": "65ewtrgaggshhk1223245sghjlse684b",
"is_domain": false,
"parent_id": "65ewtrgaggshhk1223245sghjlse684b",
"name": "project_name",
"description": "",
"links": {
"next": null,
"previous": null,
"self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects/a4adasfjljaaaakla12334jklga9sasfg"

"enabled": true
}

}
}

Obtain a Project ID from the Console
------------------------------------
A project ID needs to be specified in the URIs of some APIs. Therefore, you need to obtain the project ID before calling APIs. The following procedure describes how to obtain a project ID:
#. Log in to the management console.
#. Click the username and select **My Credentials** from the drop-down list.
On the **My Credentials** page, view project IDs in the project list.

In multi-project scenarios, expand the region, and obtain your sub-project ID from the **Project ID** column.
