Hi Conor, The UI won't provide you with the campaign ID, so developers usually use the CampaignService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CampaignService> to get the list of campaigns and IDs, as you mentioned.
If you're having trouble setting up the *AdWordsUser*, I'd recommend reading through the client library's README.md and accompanying OAuth 2.0 page, which will walk you through the process of configuring your environment. I'm guessing based on the type name that you are either using the PHP library or the .NET library. The relevant pages for those libraries are: .NET: README <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib>, OAuth 2.0 <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib/wiki/Using-OAuth2> PHP: README <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib>, OAuth 2.0 <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/wiki/Using-OAuth-2.0> Once you have everything configured, each library contains a *GetCampaigns* example that will give you the list of campaigns, along with their IDs.
