Hi Alexander, Jonathan is correct, your best option right now is the Account Structure Report. The core engineering team is aware of the desire to have change history information exposed via the API, and they are investigating the feasibility of this for the v2009 version. I can't make any guarantees about if or when that functionality would become available, but I'll make sure to pass on your feedback.
Out of personal curiosity, what are some use cases for keeping track of this information locally? Are you integrating change history with reporting data? Are you using the API to monitor hand-managed AdWords accounts?
