claim IDs from ClaimReview data via the Google Fact Check Tools API

[Melce Hüsünbeyi]

Hi there,

I'm currently working with the Google Fact Check Tools API to extract ClaimReview metadata using the /claims:search endpoint.

The API returns useful fields such as:

• claimReview.claimReviewed

• claimReview.url

• claimReview.title

• reviewDate

• textualRating

However, there is no unique identifier included in the response.

My questions:
- Is there a way to retrieve a claim ID from this API?
- If not, does Google expose any consistent identifier through another API (e.g., via Data Commons or Content Indexing)?
- Is it expected behavior that the API omits IDs?

Any guidance from the developer team or community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
