Strange Error coden when adding negative keywords

Hi,

I am trying to implement the use of negative keywords, but I keep getting this strange error:

FAILED_NOT_KEYWORD_MISSING_AMT

A negative keyword within the order is missing a partial match amount.

I am sending a string array in the orderitem with the values

ag nega1

ag nega2

Could someone please explain what this error code actually means? What is a partial match amount?

Another strange thing is that the documentation says that negative keywords are send as a string where each negative keyword is separated by a comma. But in the orderitem class notkeywords are send as an array of strings. Is the documentation wrong?

Best,

Ok, I found out that negative keywords are not allowed if only the exact match type is enabled.

Btw: It would be great if we could set negative keywords on a campaign and order level.

Hi Peer,

Thank you for pointing out the documentation error about the negative keywords being separated by a comma. You are correct in that it is a string array instead of a comma-separated string. We will update the documentation.

We are also reviewing the text message for the error that you experienced.

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention.
