Hi Yan, Yes, (1) is correct. You cannot page beyond 100K entries. You need to either group your requests one campaign id at a time, or use an adgroup performance report. (2) I don't have a raw HTTP request handy, but if you'd use a client library from https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries, then it contains reporting examples. For instance, the PHP example is here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201402/Reporting/DownloadCriteriaReport.php.
You need to pick an appropriate report type. For AdGroups, AdGroup Performance report is the right one to use, you can see the columns on https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports. I also recommend reading https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/structure-reports, which talks about the same thing you are trying to do, but for campaigns. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen AdWords API Advisor.
