Hi,

For remarketing lists for search (RLSA), we can use the audience 
performance report to get statistical information for the performance of 
the remarketing lists on an ad group basis.  However, this report 
surprisingly does not appear to be able to be used as a structure report, 
because it's missing one of the most important fields -- the id of the 
criterion. There is an "Id" field in this report, but it returns the id of 
the UserList, not the CriterionUserList, i.e. the id of the audience and 
not the id of the criterion (that UserList attached to a particular ad 
group).  The id of the criterion (not just the UserList/Audience id) is 
what is needed to be able to actually change (or remove) the bid modifier 
for that audience for an ad group, because it's a required field on 
CriterionUserList during SET and REMOVE operations on 
BiddableAdGroupCriterion in the AdGroupCriterionService.  I hope I've made 
that id distinction clear.

Unfortunately, the only other report that seemed promising to pull this 
structure data, the criteria performance report, also appears to be 
unworkable.  It also has an "Id" field, which given the name of the report, 
would presumably be the id of the criterion -- but from running it on some 
accounts, it also appears to be the UserList (audience) id, not the 
CriterionUserList id.  

As it stands now, I don't see a way to get the id of these criterion so 
that they can be updated or removed other than by querying the 
AdGroupCriterionService.  Could someone please let me know if I'm missing 
something (some report, some field on one of these two reports that I've 
overlooked, etc.), and whether it's possible to get the criterion id for 
these remarketing lists that have been added to ad groups using some report 
rather than the (relatively slow) SOAP service?

Thanks in advance,
Greg
