Hi there, thank your for the information. My understanding on the reason for negative keywords on the API side directly is that it would increase the amount of useful keywords that can be returned (due the the limit of 200). i.e. so that keywords that are not needed do not take up a place in the list of 200 meaning their space is filled by another keyword.
Regarding the use of "Exact" matches, I will check with the end user however if it does not make "much sense" I am just wondering why it is an option on https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal when entering URLs. On the URL I entered ( http://bbc.co.uk ), I tested changing "Broad" to "Exact" and it seemed to affect the search volume columns.
