Details

The user explorer report in Google Analytics can give you the client.id you need to test.

A data deletion request can be applied to either a Google Analytics web property (specified by propertyType="ga") or Firebase application (propertyType="firebase"). A user whose data will be deleted can be specified by setting one of the identifiers the userId field. The type of the identifier must be specified inside idType field.

There is a quota of 500 queries per day per cloud project.
