Hi Ven, A few points:
1) If you are building a new application you should definitely be using the v2009 API. The v13 API is set to be sunset in April, so it doesn't make sense to build a new application on this version of the API only to have to migrate it within a few months. 2) The client libraries are a great way to get started with the API. Also, since they are released as Open Source you can build your own version with exactly the features you desire. 3) I'm not sure if it is responsible for the error, but the main problem I see with your request is you are using a campaign name in place of a campaign ID. The campaignID field should be the numerical id of the campaign.
