# BulkNegativeKeywordCreate.MatchType

The negative keyword’s match type for a bulk negative-keyword create item.

```
string BulkNegativeKeywordCreate.MatchType
```

## Discussion

Unlike positive keywords, negative keywords can use `EXACT`, `BROAD`, or `PHRASE`, but not `CATEGORY` matching.

### Example

```json
{
  "matchType": "BROAD"
}
```
