Hi, Automatic placements are generated on the fly based upon the criteria in your AdGroup - you cannot obtain them via the AdGroupCriterionService - this service only returns values that you have yourself specified. You will need to run a report, as you mentioned, to obtain these placements. Please keep in mind that this report will only return a value for the automatic placement if it received at least one click or above a certain threshold of impressions (it would have its domain listed in the UI if these conditions were met).
