`search(offset=None, pageSize=None, query=None, pageToken=None, maxAgeDays=None, languageCode=None, reviewPublisherSiteFilter=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Search through fact-checked claims.

    Args:
      offset: integer, An integer that specifies the current offset (that is, starting result location) in search results. This field is only considered if `page_token` is unset. For example, 0 means to return results starting from the first matching result, and 10 means to return from the 11th result.
      pageSize: integer, The pagination size. We will return up to that many results. Defaults to 10 if not set.
      query: string, Textual query string. Required unless `review_publisher_site_filter` is specified.
      pageToken: string, The pagination token. You may provide the `next_page_token` returned from a previous List request, if any, in order to get the next page. All other fields must have the same values as in the previous request.
      maxAgeDays: integer, The maximum age of the returned search results, in days. Age is determined by either claim date or review date, whichever is newer.
      languageCode: string, The BCP-47 language code, such as "en-US" or "sr-Latn". Can be used to restrict results by language, though we do not currently consider the region.
      reviewPublisherSiteFilter: string, The review publisher site to filter results by, e.g. nytimes.com.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Response from searching fact-checked claims.
        "claims": [ # The list of claims and all of their associated information.
          { # Information about the claim.

                  "site": "A String", # Host-level site name, without the protocol or "www" prefix. For instance, "awesomefactchecks.com". This value of this field is based purely on the claim review URL.
                  "name": "A String", # The name of this publisher. For instance, "Awesome Fact Checks".
                },

            "claimant": "A String", # A person or organization stating the claim. For instance, "John Doe".
          },
        ],
        "nextPageToken": "A String", # The next pagination token in the Search response. It should be used as the `page_token` for the following request. An empty value means no more results.
      }
