Hi Luca, The keyword will be added only once. I'm not sure why such a difference exists in this behaviour, I guess AdWords throws error on duplicate campaign name because it enforces that condition, whereas you could add a keyword, delete it, add it back again and so on, so throwing an error for trying to add a duplicate keyword doesn't make sense.
I'll ask the API team to take a look. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
