Google Analytics 4 (GA4) properties and webstreams can’t be created solely by using the Analytics Data API. The API doesn’t allow the creation of these resources, it is designed for querying and returning Google Analytics data. Here is what each one is designed for: GA4 properties are used for unifying data sources and aligning metrics. On the other hand, a webstream is used for collecting data from your website. Both of these are usually set up from the Google Analytics interface, not via the API. So, to create a property and webstream in GA4, you can do this manually through the GA4 user interface instead.
