Deactivates a beacon. Once deactivated, the API will not return information nor attachment data for the beacon when queried via beaconinfo.getforobserved. Calling this method on an already inactive beacon will do nothing (but will return a successful response code).

Authenticate using an OAuth access token from a signed-in user with Is owner or Can edit permissions in the Google Developers Console project.
