I am using the targetingIdeaService to retrieve
AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES for various broad match keywords. I
set:
  $paging->numberResults=100;
and when I send a list of 100 keywords, only 7 of those 100 keywords
are returned in the result, and then another 93 "related" or
"suggested" keywords that are not in my list also get returned. The
reason this happens, is that 93 of the keywords that I sent have 0
monthly searches, so those are not included in the result.

The trouble is, I am being charged for all 100 keywords in the result
when using the API! I only need 7 of them. That is, I only need the
keywords that are in the list that I sent, and not any related or
suggested keywords. If 93 of my keywords have 0 monthly searches, then
only the 7 that do need to be returned, and therefore I would only be
charged for those 7.

How do I instruct the targetingIdeaService to return ONLY the keywords
that are in the list that I send it, without any related or suggested
keywords? The AdWords Keyword Tool has an option for this, to return
only the same keywords that were in my list. How do I get the API to
do this?
