# Obtaining a Project ID

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

You can obtain the project ID by calling the 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, where {Endpoint} indicates the IAM endpoint. You can obtain the IAM endpoint from Regions and Endpoints.

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

    {
        "projects": [
            {
                "domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
                "is_domain": false,
                "parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
                "name": "xxxxxxxx",
                "description": "",
                "links": {
                    "next": null,
                    "previous": null,
                    "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects/a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99"
                },
                "id": "a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99",
                "enabled": true
            }
        ],
        "links": {
            "next": null,
            "previous": null,
            "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects"
        }
    }
