Hi Bryan, For your first question, you are correct. Batch processing <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs> using BatchJobService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/BatchJobService> is for mutate calls only of the supported services and operations (e.g. CampaignService.mutate()), so retrieving your data in batch is not possible with this service.
For your second question, if your goal is just to get the data (e.g. campaigns, ad groups, etc.) with or without statistics, then you may generate a report so you don't have to worry for the paging limit as discussed here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits#general> (Start index of request). In regards to the real time data in reports, if you are only getting attributes, and not metrics (e.g. Impressions, Clicks), then the attribute data is in real time. Metrics are delayed for up to 3 hours as discussed here <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2544985?hl=en>. The advantage of generating a report is that you may generate all your data for an object (e.g. campaigns via Campaign Performance Report) via *one report request* as there is no file size limit. However, this does not guarantee that it will always download your report as there may be times that the server *may return an error* if your report is too large as discussed here <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting#timeouts>. For the reports, you can refer to this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting> for more information and to these PHP reporting examples <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/php/reporting>.
