Hello, Sorry for making you wait for a long time. I've been confirmed that the *Clicks* field of ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT returns the real number of clicks, whereas the *Clicks* field of CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT returns the number of *interactions.* So this can be largely different for non-Search campaigns, e.g., Shopping campaigns, Display campaigns.
If you compare the number of *valid* interactions + *invalid *interactions columns in the UI with the *Clicks* field of CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, you will see the numbers match.
