Hi Materie, I know there is an issue in the account structure report such that each keyword gets reported multiple times for every change in the campaign budget. So, for example, in a campaign where the budget has been changed five times, each keyword would be reported five times.
The API team is aware of this issue, though I haven't heard an ETA for a fix.
