# Obtaining a Project ID

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

You can obtain a project ID by calling the API for Querying Project Information Based on the Specified Criteria.

The API for obtaining the project ID is GET https://{Endpoint}/v3/projects/, where Endpoint indicates the endpoint of IAM. You can obtain the endpoint 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": {
                    "next": null,
                    "previous": null,
                    "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects/a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99"
                },
                "id": "a4a5d4098fb4474fa22cd05f897d6b99",
                "enabled": true
            }
        ],

            "next": null,
            "previous": null,
            "self": "https://www.example.com/v3/projects"
        }
    }
