Hi Danny, Being that you mentioned you are getting blank files when you download, could you confirm if this issue still persists? If yes, please send your complete report definition, the generated blank report file, your clientCustomerId and any error messages if available so I can further investigate. You may reply using *Reply privately to author*.
As for the saveToFile method, it allows you to download a copy of the file of your chosen format into your local. However, if you wish not to save these files, you may download the report as a string <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/php/reporting#download-a-criteria-performance-report-with-awql> (please see the getAsString() example in the linked example). For the Placeholder Feed Item Report, the AdGroupId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/placeholder-feed-item-report#adgroupid> , CampaignId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/placeholder-feed-item-report#campaignid>, and ExternalCustomerId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/placeholder-feed-item-report#externalcustomerid> fields are available to know which ad group, campaign, and account they belong but the information as to which entity level they are an extension of is not available through this report. You will need to use either the AdGroupExtensionSettingService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201705/AdGroupExtensionSettingService#get> , CampaignExtensionSettingService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201705/CampaignExtensionSettingService#get>, or the CustomerExtensionSettingService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201705/CustomerExtensionSettingService#get> to determine so.
