Search terms can't be created in the API nor the online interface. A search term is what a user types into Google to trigger an ad. The keywords you target, and their match type, determine which search terms your ads are eligible to show on. More info here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2472708

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

Note that creating search terms via Google Ads API isn’t possible. However, you may be able to add a negative keyword to an ad group by setting negative = true in the AdGroupCriterion and this sample code example. Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
