Hi Daniel,
As for the AdHoc reports, please see this
guide<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting> and
example<https://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/examples/AdWords/v201302/Reporting/DownloadCriteriaReport.php>on
how to pull AdHoc reports using PHP client library.
As for the stats discrepancy, can you please share the request and response
xml?
If you don't want to share it, please reply only to me with "Reply to
author" from the box in the top right corner.
Best,
- Takeshi, AdWords API Team
