What is a viewId in Google Analytics?

Question

According to the Google Analytics "Creating a Report" guide, a required field for a request is the viewId:

A valid view ID for the viewId field.

Cool. So what is a viewId and where do I find it? I click on the viewId link and it says:

Unique View Id for retrieving Analytics data.

Umm. Ok. But what is it, and how do I find it for the report I want? It doesn't appear to be the same as "property ID". Come on Google, we need a little more to work with here.
