Hi Mike,
I know it's been a while, but I was reviewing this feature request and
realized that I had not suggested using the URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/url-performance-report>.
That won't give you GCLID-level details, but it will allow you to see the
full placement URL (in the Url field
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/url-performance-report#url>)
for your impressions. Would that address your use case?
Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team
