How do I get the pageobject id of a slide based on its text using google slide api

I need to retrieve the page object id of a slide in Google slides based on text located in the slide. I was wondering if there was a way to do this using google slide API for python.

This short code should explain how to extract all relevant information from all the slides including slide objectid.

function logSlidesObjectIdAndElements() {
  var presentationId = 'ACTUAL_ID';
  var presentation = Slides.Presentations.get(presentationId);
  var slides = presentation.slides;
  Logger.log('The presentation contains %s slides:', slides.length);
  for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
    Logger.log(
      '- Slide with objectid:%s Slide#%s contains %s 
       elements.',slides[i].objectId,i + 1,
       slides[i].pageElements.length);
  }
}

I am not sure if there is an existing implementation. I can see in the documentation that you need to get the objectID by supplying the needed presentationID and not the "content".

For example in the Try it section of the Method: presentations.get, you need to supply the presentationID before you can achieve the response containing your needed information like "objectId" and "content".

{
  "presentationId": "000AAAAAAAAA_AAA0AA00AA00A0A0AAAA00AAAA7AAA",
  "pageSize": {
    "width": {
      "magnitude": 9144000,
      "unit": "EMU"
    },
    "height": {
      "magnitude": 5143500,
      "unit": "EMU"
    }
  },
  "slides": [
    {
      "objectId": "p",
      "pageElements": [
        {
          "objectId": "i0",
          "size": {
            "width": {
              "magnitude": 3000000,
              "unit": "EMU"
            },
            "height": {
              "magnitude": 3000000,
              "unit": "EMU"
            }
          },
          "transform": {
            "scaleX": 2.8402,
            "scaleY": 0.6842,
            "translateX": 311708.35000000003,
            "translateY": 744575,
            "unit": "EMU"
          },
          "shape": {
            "shapeType": "TEXT_BOX",
            "text": {
              "textElements": [
                {
                  "endIndex": 6,
                  "paragraphMarker": {
                    "style": {
                      "direction": "LEFT_TO_RIGHT"
                    }
                  }
                },
                {
                  "endIndex": 6,
                  "textRun": {
                    "content": "My ID\n",
                    "style": {}
                  }
                }
              ]
            },
