# Bulk Create Negative Keywords

Create multiple negative keywords in a single request.

## Discussion

This endpoint creates multiple negative keywords in a single API call. The request body contains an `items` array where each item wraps a `BulkNegativeKeywordCreate` object with a `correlationId`. You can mix campaign-level and ad-group-level negatives in the same request. The API processes each item independently.

When `allowPartialSuccess: true` is set in the request, this endpoint uses partial success semantics: if some items in the request fail validation (for example, a duplicate text and matchType combination), the API still creates the successful items. When omitted or `false`, any single item failure rejects the entire batch. The response includes a per-item result array with each item’s `correlationId`, success status, the created object, and any error details for failures.

## Payload Examples

**Bulk Create:**

### Request

Create two negative keywords in one request: one campaign-level and one ad-group-level. Each item in `items` maps to a result in the response by `correlationId`.

```json
POST /v1/negative-keywords/bulk-create

{
 "items": [
   {
     "correlationId": 0,
     "data": {
       "campaignId": 444555666,
       "text": "free app",
       "matchType": "BROAD",
       "status": "ENABLED"
     }
   },
   {
     "correlationId": 1,
     "data": {
       "campaignId": 444555666,
       "adGroupId": 555666777,
       "text": "cheap downloads",
       "matchType": "EXACT",
       "status": "ENABLED"
     }
   }
 ]
}
```
