# NegativeKeywordUpdate

The request body for updating an existing negative keyword.

```
object NegativeKeywordUpdate
```

## Discussion

The `NegativeKeywordUpdate` object is the request payload for modifying an existing negative keyword. An update request can include only `status`. The schema rejects `text` and `matchType`. Set `status` to `PAUSED` to temporarily allow traffic from the excluded term, or `ENABLED` to re-activate the exclusion.

### Example

```json
{
  "status": "PAUSED"
}
```

## Topics

### Type Aliases

[`string NegativeKeywordUpdate.Status`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/NegativeKeywordUpdate/Status-data.typealias)

Whether this negative keyword should be active after the update.
