On September 30, 2024 the Fact Check Tools API will require users to update their OAuth tokens to include the FCT scope 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/factchecktools'. This update to comply with best practices means you will need to make a change in order to continue using RPCs which use OAuth tokens for authentication. For instructions on how to set or change the scope, you can check the documentation for the use of OAuth 2.0 to access Google APIs.
Note: RPCs which currently use API keys for authentication will not be affected.
If you have any questions, please contact us at fct-api@google.com.

Getting Started
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.

updates on a particular query.
