Negative keywords lists via the API

[Rob Sedgwick]

We would like to use the new feature negative keyword lists for global control of negative keywords. The Adwords web site has this feature but it does not yet seem to be available via the API. Is this right?

Also we have hundreds of different accounts. Is it possible to enter the negative keyword lists at MCC level and then accounts beneath this should be able to access them? This is not possible that we can see via the web site, but does the API allow this? We don't want to have to maintain hundreds of different copies of the same list.

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately these types of shared lists aren't yet available with
the API. From what I know about them they can't be shared across
multiple accounts.

Are these negative keyword lists available through the API now by any chance?
If the lists themselves cannot be accessed, are the negative keywords in these lists retrievable through other means, perhaps through the campaigns that they're applied on?

Thanks,
Joshua

Hi Josh,

Unfortunately these lists are not yet available in the API, and the keywords in the lists are not returned by the CampaignCriterionService.

Hi Eric,

Is it still the case that Negative Lists are not available through the API?

Can anyone from the adwords team please let us know if Negative keyword Lists are exposed anywhere in the API?

Many thanks

Hello Oliver,

Negative keyword Lists are not available via the API. We recommend to manage the lists on the client side.

Hello Chih-Che Tsai,

No, unfortunately negative keywords lists are not supported in the API and we don't plan to include them in the future.
