Hi Pierre, Through the API you can run a wide variety of reports that provide various metrics at different levels (Campaign, AdGroup, Account, etc.). The following links should help you get started:
- Reporting basics<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting> - Reporting Concepts<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting-concepts> - AdWords Query Language (AWQL)<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/awql>- SQL-like interface for reporting Many of the reports include cost metrics, but for your particular use case I think the Campaign Performance Report<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#campaign>would be a good fit.
