# Bulk Create Keywords

Creates multiple keywords in a single request.

## Discussion

This endpoint creates multiple keywords in a single request. Each item in the `items` array contains a `correlationId` and a `data` object with the keyword fields. The `adGroupId` and `text` fields are required per item. You can optionally set `bid` to override the ad group’s default bid.

A single request can create keywords across different ad groups. This makes the endpoint well-suited for seeding a new campaign structure with a full keyword list in one call, rather than creating keywords one ad group at a time.

## Payload Examples

**Bulk Create:**

### Request

Create three keywords with different match types.
