Newbie to the API here.  I'm trying to find quite a few fields, and it is not apparent how I would find them, nor where I would look.  Specifically, this is the list of fields I wish to get:

search_date
keyword
account
campaign
group_name
match type
status
search_bid
pub_cost
clicks
impressions
click_through (can be calculated: clicks/impressions)
cpc (can be calculated: pub_cost/clicks)
position
url
domain

I am using the Perl sample code from https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/perl/basic-operations and I can get fields like keyword and account, but how would I find impressions, clicks, and position?  These are not attached to the Google::Ads::AdWords::(version)::Keyword object.

Hi,

Welcome to AdWords API! Performance data, such as impressions and clicks, is not available in API services. In order to get this data, you need to use Reports. Here are the available reports in AdWords API. You can choose the report type that suits what you are looking for. Our client libraries contain examples on how to run reports. Here are the Perl examples.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
Anthony

Thanks, Anthony.  That would certainly explain why I can't find them in the API services.  I'll check out the reports.
