Searching further, I found the article "Mapping Report to the UI" which describes the placement exclusions as follows<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/uireports?hl=nl#placementExclusionsReport> :
*Although placement exclusions, known in the API as negative placements, do not hold statistics, a report called Campaign Negative Placements Performance is available in the API to retrieve this structural data. Note that only data about negative placements at the ad group level is available via the API reports. To retrieve placements exclusions data at the campaign level refer to the CampaignCriterionService<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/CampaignCriterionService?hl=nl> * This appears to be wrong. The Campaign Negative Placement Performace report gives data about negative placements on the campaign level, NOT the ad group level. So, I can retrieve campaign level negatives in two ways, with the Campaign Negative Placement Performace report and the CampaignCriterionService. What about ad group level negatives? In case you wonder, my goal is to detect which automatic placements are now excluded, as seen in the Display Network tab of the web UI. The mentioned article "Mapping reports to the UI" does mention how the automatic placements are generated, but how the "Excluded" label is determined is not part of the documentation.
