TargetingIdeaService: flag keywords already in account

[Nate Mcghie]

Hello,

I am using the TargetingIdeaService to generate new keyword ideas and I want to flag (or exclude) the keywords that already exist in my account. 
I looked at using the IdeaTextFilterSearchParameter, which can be used to specify the keywords that you would want to exclude from your suggested ideas list (up to a maximum of 200 keywords).
My account already contains thousands of keywords so this will not work for me (and I would rather have it automated than depend on manually extracting a list of keywords).

Is there some work-around to pull the 'Account Status' column that can be viewed using the Keyword planner tool? I couldn't find a corresponding attribute in the documentation. Screenshot attached.
If this is not possible; is there some workaround for excluding a large and dynamic list of keywords?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Nate,

Yes, the IdeaTextFilterSearchParamater can only accommodate up to 200 (included/excluded) keywords per request. So processing all your keywords would require you to make quite a number of requests.

As for extracting your keywords, you should be able to use the Keywords Performance Report and use the IsNegative = True to extract those you have excluded.

As for the Account Status field in the Google Ads UI's Keyword Planner, I'm afraid that this is currently not supported. You may refer to this documentation for the available information that can be retrieved using the TargetingIdeaService. I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick response.
I will try coming up with a workaround using the output from the Keywords Performance Report you suggest.

Cheers,
Nate
