Programatically getting available fields for AWQL to service calls (and reports too I suppose)

I'm in the process of writing a simplified wrapper for the Adwords API client lib and it would be really helpful if there was some way to get a list of AWQL fields for service calls other than copy/pasting them from this website:

Sadly, the only way I know of is to submit each keyword in it's own campaign and adgroup which limits you to 5 (yes,* 5*) keywords per request. I've asked about this in the past and the API team has referred me to the general adwords group, where my requests have fallen on deaf ears. For

Eric, I don't think it's a coincidence-- my results in testing have been consistent: estimating single keywords in a series of different adgroups yields the same result as estimating them in one adgroup _unless_ you place the individual adgroups in separate campaigns. I've attached SOAP XML

CPC for the term 'chicago bike shop' alone it returns a value of 1.47. As you can imagine this provides a bit of a problem for getting individual keyword values since the maximum number of campaignEstimates per SOAP request (we're using the PHP client Lib) seems to be 5. Any thoughts? Ian
