Unfortunately, there's no direct way to fetch item IDs using the Forms API without first getting the form object. You can retrieve the form's content using `service.forms().get(formId=form_id).execute()`. The response includes a `items` list, where each item represents a question or other element in the form. Iterate through this list, examining each item's `title` or other properties to identify the question you're interested in. The `itemId` attribute within each item object contains the unique identifier for that question.
