Best Way to detect unique posts in wp rest api

Post ID is not an external ID of the post but an internal one and you should not expect any consistency in it. Since almost everything is stored at the post table the value of ID depends not only on the number of “true” posts but also the number of revisions, images and any other CPT.

On top of that there are post that are not publicly available like drafts.

You should just use the offset and the number of results that you want as parameters to the query.
