Hi Scott, If you are interested in past performance for a specific set of criteria, please see my earlier message today<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/SdOnNYROJWA/VSgTGezNWroJ> where I covered this information and let me know if you still have questions.
For predicted future performance you can use TrafficEstimatorService<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService>, and even specify the ID of a campaign<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService.CampaignEstimateRequest#campaignId> and the IDs of ad groups<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService.AdGroupEstimateRequest#adGroupId> that you want AdWords to use to improve the estimates. If you do not provide these IDs, however, you can only get estimates based on keyword<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService.AdGroupEstimateRequest#keywordEstimateRequests>+ Location and/or Language<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService.CampaignEstimateRequest#criteria> .
