Dear Google AdWords API team, Within a KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT I've noticed that the keyword string <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/keywords-performance-report#criteria> for an *exact match* keyword appears without the exact match special symbol (i.e. "keyword" instead of "[keyword]"). In contrast, the same keyword string appears with its symbol in the GUI.
This complicates direct keyword comparison. I also find that this behavior does not comply with the Keyword match type summaries <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7478529?hl=en> table (located at the bottom of the help page) because a keyword with no special symbol stands for a *broad match* and *not* an *exact match* keyword. On the other hand, within the same report, a *broad match modifier* keyword appears correctly annotated with its special symbol "+" (i.e. "+keyword") just as it appears in the GUI. Is there any particular reason for this behavior of the *exact match* type? If it is not desired, could you please fix it in an upcoming Google Ads API release?
