# Update Targeting Keywords

Updates targeting keywords in ad groups.

## Discussion

To update targeting keywords, use the associated `campaignId` and `adgroupId` in the URI. The `id` in the payload must belong to a keyword that exists inside the ad group in the URI. The `status` and `bidAmount` fields are modifiable in the payload. Use partial updates to edit a subset of object properties without having to include all object properties in the payload. For more information, see the Use Partial Updates section of [Using Apple Ads API Functionality](/documentation/Apple_Ads/using-apple-search-ads-api-functionality).

### Payload example: Update ad group targeting keywords

When updating keywords in a campaign with a Maximize Conversions bidding strategy, `bidAmount` cannot be changed to a non-zero/non-null value.

**Request:**

```http
PUT https://api.searchads.apple.com/api/v5/campaigns/{campaignId}/adgroups/{adgroupId}/targetingkeywords/bulk

[  
  {
    "id": "542370642",

    "bidAmount": {
      "amount": "100",
