# Obtaining a Project ID

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:

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.

   Figure 1 Viewing project IDs

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