In reply to Raj. I think you can't get the data directly via API v4. But what you can do is setting up a custom dimension that captures the Client ID. You can than use the API to export data.

Thank you so much for the awesome explanation. Really you put a lot of time in this! Can we query user explorer data through apiv4 and get a summary of all events ortransactions by each user?

You can set your User ID as a custom dimension and take it from there.

Best,
Paul

Definitely excited to see the User Report launch, although I wish it were a bit more directly actionable. I’m hoping that the “The User ID value can not be queried as a dimension in reports in either the web interface or the APIs” limitation will be removed in the future!
