In GA UI, there was no way to extract AdWords keyword + AdGroup +
Campaign combo in one report unlike AdWords keyword report.

Is it possible to get AdWords keyword information along with tied
AdGroup and Campaign thru GA API?

Thanks.

Hi,

So yes, you can :)

You can get at this relationship through custom reporting in the
UI...except that it's a drilldown for each dimension.
The API will also allow you to query this relationship, but returns
tabular data with all of the dimensions defined in each row.

Thank you, Nick

I tried Custom Reporting, but still I can not generate a screen or
Excel csv that shows campaigns, AdGroups, and keywords in one screen
something like below:

Campaigns AdGroups Keywords Visits
Campaign1 AdGroup1 key1 10
Campaign1 AdGroup2 key1 20
Campaign2 AdGroup1 key3 5
Campaign2 AdGroup1 key2 2

Above format is a typical tabular report format of Google AdWords.
Does GA UI or API support the type of report format per raw?
I need this type of format because there are many duplicate keywords
accross campaigns and AdGroups.
Thank you.

Correct, through the UI you can get at the data relationships but not
in the format you're looking for.

The API does support the output you are looking for.
