How to get your Google account/user ID
If you know their account ID
@userbradley See, I tried that with the accountID (which is the same as the google plus user ID), and it gives me an error. It might be my API key that's the issue, but that's a different problem entirely in that case

I believe you can only get your self and those in the same directory as you (workspace) - gmail is a single directory where users can’t see each other, so that may be the issue you’re running in to
Log in to your Google account if not already
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy
Locate the button Maps Timeline in the History settings, right-click on it and copy its URL
That URL contains 'gid' parameter which is your Google ID.
Hope this helps the folks looking for their google user id in 2025.

@KylieKat17 from my understanding, and from what I have been able to do, you can only get users info if you know their numerical ID
If you know their account ID then you can follow this guide
