How to query Google Analytics without viewId

Question

Seems like Universal Analytics is deprecated and new version of Google analytics doesnt provide a viewId?

Does anyone know how to get google analytics data without having a viewId?

  googleAuth.authenticate(authOptions, function (err, token) {
        axios.get(`https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A219265842&start-date=${startDate}&end-date=today&metrics=ga%3Ausers&dimensions=ga%3Acountry&access_token=${token}`)
            .then(analyticsData => {
              
                // res.json(analyticsData)
            })
            .catch(err => console.log(err))
    });

This code was working up until few weeks ago with existing google analytics accounts with viewId.

"Universal Analytics refers to the previous generation of Analytics. This was the default property type for websites prior to October 14, 2020."

For anyone having the same issue:

googleAuth.authenticate(authOptions, function (err, token) {
        var data = {
            "entity": {
                "propertyId": "YOUR_PROPERTY_ID"
            },
            "dateRanges": [
                {
                    "startDate": startDate,
                    "endDate": "today"
                }
            ],
            "dimensions": [
                {
                    "name": "deviceCategory"
                }
            ],
            "metrics": [
                {
                    "name": "totalUsers"
                }
            ]
        };

        var config = {
            method: 'post',
            url: `https://analyticsdata.googleapis.com/v1alpha:runReport?key=${keys.GOOGLE_API_KEY}`,
            headers: {
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
                'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
            },
            data: data
        };

        axios(config)
.then(res=>{
console.log(res)
})
.catch(err=>console.log(err))

})
