Hi, 

I'm requesting keywords from a certain ad group which works fine but for a certain account, I'd get additional keywords from a different Ad Group, and strangely those keywords look very similar to the ones in the correct ad group. 

To give an example let's say the correct Ad Group contains 2 exact keywords;  

[BrandName yellow umbrella]     
[BrandName blue umbrella]        

Results will have 4 keywords. The ones above which is the expected results, but also the ones below, which exists in another Ad Group; 
[yellow umbrella]   
[blue umbrella] 


Again the incorrect results looks very similar to the correct ones, missing only the branded word in the beginning.  

My selectors predicate and fields are as following;

           Predicate.In(Keyword.Fields.CriteriaType, new string[] {"KEYWORD"}),
           Predicate.Equals(AdGroupCriterion.Fields.AdGroupId, ### ,
           Predicate.NotEquals(AdGroupCriterion.Fields.CriterionUse,"NEGATIVE")

           fields = new string[] {
            Keyword.Fields.Id, Keyword.Fields.KeywordMatchType,
            Keyword.Fields.KeywordText, Keyword.Fields.CriteriaType 
          }


This strange behavior does not happens for all accounts by the way.

Any help / explanation will be highly appreciated, thank you.

Hi Cem,

To further investigate the issue, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs with the CID and the filter that you've used in the API call via Reply privately to author?

If you haven't enabled SOAP logging yet, kindly enable it by following this guide for Java library supported by AdWords API.
