AdsApp.​KeywordBuilder

Builder for a keyword under construction.

Typical usage:

var keywordOperation = adGroup.newKeywordBuilder()
   .withText("text")
   .withCpc(1.5)
   .withFinalUrl("http://www.example.com")
   .build();
var keyword = keywordOperation.getResult();

Note that it is only necessary to call KeywordOperation.getResult() if you need to access the actual keyword for further processing (for instance, one can attach a label to the newly created keyword), otherwise, calling KeywordBuilder.build() on the KeywordBuilder is sufficient to ensure that the Keyword is created.
