Hi,

For excluding location in your campaign, you need to use the CampaignCriterionService.mutate() and the NegativeCampaignCriterion as your object. Since you are using nodeJS, I will just provide you the sample SOAP request snippet that you can emulate on your end:

<soapenv:Body>
    <mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710">
        <operations>
            <operator>ADD</operator>
            <operand xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710" xsi:type="ns2:NegativeCampaignCriterion">
                <ns2:campaignId>XXXXXXXXX</ns2:campaignId>
                <ns2:criterion xsi:type="ns2:Location">
                    <ns2:id>XXXX</ns2:id>
                </ns2:criterion>
            </operand>
        </operations>
    </mutate>
</soapenv:Body>

Let me know if this helps.
