Hi Jonah, Unfortunately the API doesn't have a report that exactly matches the Destination URL dimension screen in the UI. Your attempts so far have been good, but the main problem is that there isn't support for CriterionUserList (Audience) criteria in the reporting system yet. What may work is the following:
Use the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and include the KeywordId field. This will segment the statistics by the criteria that triggered the impressions. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this field will work for any type of criterion, CriterionUserList included. You can then use this ID to cross reference the results from a KEYWORDS / PLACEMENT report or the AdGroupCriterionService to get the destination URLs of the criteria.
