Hi, The API services such as CampaignService, AdGroupService, etc. are for maintaining the objects in your AdWords account. When you need performance statistics for those objects you'll need to use the reporting feature<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting> .
For your use case, I would recommend reading about zero impression reports<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/zero-impression-reports> and considering one of the simpler formats such as CSV, TSV (see the bottom of this page <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting>).
