Hello Xavier, The explanation you describe may be correct, and if that's the case then I'd imagine you should just set the keywordMaxCpc property to the desired bid for the keywords (even though they will only run on the Content network). Can you try setting that via the API and then check out the ad group in the web interface to see if the correct bid is being used for the Content network?
The requestId information can not be used by anyone outside of Google to look up your request, so in general there are no security concerns with posting it. But it sounds like all you need to do is just set the keywordMaxCpc property.
