Hi,

I am using a test account on google ads api. I was trying to add 2000 keywords to my keyword plan to get forecast metrics. I keep getting the following error. "A keyword with same text and match type already exists."But when I try to query keywords form my account, the keywords do not exist. After a few tries, I used up my daily operation limit. I tried the same code with a smaller keyword list with about 10 keywords, and it worked just fine. So, I was wondering why it does not work with 2000 keywords. The attached is the code I was using to add keywords.

./add_keyword_plan2.py -c ***********

Created keyword plan with resource name: customers/*******/keywordPlans/*********

Created keyword plan campaign with resource name: customers/********/keywordPlanCampaigns/********

Created keyword plan ad group with resource name: customers/**********0/keywordPlanAdGroups/*********

Alright, I solved it. It turns out that there are some duplicated keywords in my list.
