The Google FactCheck ClaimReview Read/Write API
Typical use cases
- Adding ClaimReview markup, editing ClaimReview Markup, deleting ClaimReview Markup for
a site’s fact checking articles (URLs). To learn more about ClaimReview, visit the
Fact Check developer docs.
Note: To add or make changes to a site’s markup using this
API, users must be authorized
through Google Search Console. Any account that is listed as a restricted or full user
of a site will be able to create markup for any articles of that site. The required
steps are:
- Talk to your webmaster to find out if your site is already on Search Console. If
not, follow these steps.
- Ask your webmaster to add you as a user to the site, either as a restricted or full
user (instructions).
You are responsible for informing your users that your API client will contribute data to
dataCommons.
Use of the ClaimReview Read/Write API is subject to
Google’s API Terms of Service.
