Am I correct that there is no other way to find an ID of a particular keyword other than by calling getAllKeywords() on a given adgroup?

The problem with this approach is that it rapidly consumes the API quota as each id retreived counts as 1 operation.

So I want to perform a certain action on 1 keyword out of 500, I first have to retrieve IDs for all 500 and then find mine among them. This is 500 API operations.
