Hi Jonathan, The shared sets <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/negative-keywords-shared-sets#shared_sets> are typically recommended if you have a set of keywords/placements that gives you unwanted impressions or clicks across multiple campaigns. In this case you would create a shared set with these keywords and apply them across multiple campaigns. Since you are not reusing the same set of keywords across multiple campaigns, you could just add them as a NegativeCampaignCriterion <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/CampaignCriterionService.NegativeCampaignCriterion> on the campaign directly using the CampaignCriterionService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/CampaignCriterionService>. Please check this example <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/python/targeting#add-targeting-criteria-to-a-campaign> for code sample.
As you observed, there is an account limit <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6372658?hl=en> of 20 shared negative keyword lists per account and there is no alternative to adding the shared set to the Account. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
