I am working on an integration where my primary concern is retrieving Expanded Text Ads for an account and having our app edit them. 
The Ad Services calls are ok, but I need to get Campaign Id/Name and Ad Group Id/Name when storing them in our system for friendly user display in our app. 

The two methods seem to be: 
1. Use the ad service to get all active, serving ads, then make individual calls to Ad Group and Campaign services to get Names/Id.

2. Use Campaign/Ad group Service to get all Campaigns and Ad Groups (w Name/Id), then make a call down at Ad Service to get all of the Ads. 

Both of these methods seem to result in a ton of calls (2,000+) for a medium sized account. 

Is there a way to JOIN Campaign/Ad Group Id/Names on an Ad service call? 

Thank you kindly in advance 🙏🏻

Solved. FYI, you can get everything needed for this scenario using the Ad Performance Report.
