Hello Filipp, I'm fairly certain that what you're describing is caused by what I mentioned in my original response: when the web interface displays a keyword with an Exact match type, it indicates the match type by putting [] around the text. The [] characters are not actually part of the keyword, though--they're just being overloaded to indicate the Exact match type when displayed in the web interface. When you retrieve this keyword via the API you won't see those [] characters because the match type is reflected in the property of the Keyword object, so there's no need to express it as [keyword] when returned via the API.
