Not that easy, it's not a simple SQL query: https://gdpr.eu/checklist/

If they give you some data under that framework, then it implicitly means that legally they acknowledge that they have checked all of those boxes. So before they give you the data there are probably lots of "are we incriminating ourselves by giving this guy this piece of data?" questions that they're asking themselves.
