ee.data.newTaskId
Generates an "unsubmitted" ID for a long-running task.
Before tasks are submitted, they may be assigned IDs to track them. The server ensures that the same ID cannot be reused. These IDs have a UUID format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Tasks that are running on the server have a ID without hyphens. This is returned by ee.data.startProcessing and other batch methods.
Returns an array containing generated ID strings, or null if a callback is specified.

count | Number, optional | The number of IDs to generate, one by default. |
