How to add multiple keywords to a keyword plan within a single API call?

[Zhen Guo]

Hi,

I am new to Google Ads API. I know there should be a way to add multiple keywords to a keyword plan within a single API call. I have about 2000 keywords so I don't want to waste my daily operations on just adding them to the plan. I read through the batch processing, but none of the MutateOperations seem to have keyword related features. Which specific API operations should I call to add multiple keywords to a keyword plan? If it can't be done within one call, what particular method I should use to combine or reduce calls?

Thank you.

Hi Zhen,

Thank you for reaching out. When creating your plan request, you just need to add multiple KeywordPlanKeyword objects to a KeywordPlanKeywordOperations list. You can find an example of this here in the Create KeywordPlanKeyword section.

So, if I understand this correctly, the way the example adding keywords count as ONE API operation. Right?

How many operations does the example count towards the daily operation limit?

Hi Zhen,

As explained here, each item you operate on will count as 1 mutate operation so the amount of keywords you operate on will be the number of operations. If you are reaching your daily operation limit, I would recommend looking into upgrading your token to standard access as explained here.
