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:
Obtaining a Project ID by Calling an API
The API for obtaining project IDs is described in Querying 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 the Regions and Endpoints.
The following is an example response. The value of id is the project ID.
{
"projects": [
{
"domain_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
"is_domain": false,
"parent_id": "65382450e8f64ac0870cd180d14e684b",
"name": "project_name",
"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"
}
}
Obtaining a Project ID from the Console
A project ID needs to be specified in the URLs 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.
Figure 1 Viewing project IDs
In multi-project scenarios, expand the project, and obtain your sub-project ID from the Project ID column.
