Hi, There are a couple of different services in the API to help you optimize your campaigns. Check out our Estimating Traffic guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/traffic-estimator-service> for details on the *TrafficEstimatorService*. Also, the DataService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/DataService> will provide information on the approximate # of clicks, etc. that you will get using different bid amounts.
You can also look at the various impression share fields in reports, e.g., on the KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#keywords>, the *SearchRankLostImpressionShare* and *SearchImpressionShare* fields provide information on impressions you served vs. impressions you could have served.
