Hello, 

The Campaign Location Target Report will include the Clicks from the Locations tab in the UI. Could you please share your client customer Id using the reply privately to author option, so I can take a look and address your concern?

Thanks,

Hello, 

Thank you for the screenshot. It looks like you're comparing the Clicks at the campaign level. You will need to use the Campaign Performance Report to pull the campaign level metrics. I was able to generate this and see that the clicks: 7225 match both in UI and the API. The Campaign Location target Report stats will only return the stats based on the Location criteria. This will map to the Locations tab in the UI and the clicks here are 500. You may refer to this guide to see how the API reports map with the UI.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Bharani, AdWords API Team
