Hi, I'd just like to request that a field available in the search terms report in the AdWords UI be added to the corresponding search query performance report in the API. The UI has a column for the keyword, as does the API report, but the UI includes match type in that (i.e. it will put the text in braces or quotes for exact and phrase match keywords respectively, so you can tell what match type it is). The API report does not include that.
There is a match type field in the report, but it tells you how the query matched against the keyword, not what the match type of the keyword is (which aren't necessarily the same - for instance, a phrase match keyword could exactly match the search query). This would be very useful to us for something we're working on, and instead we have to run two reports (one to download the structure for all the keywords so we can relate ad group id and keyword id to the match type of the keyword, and one to download the search query report). I understand that the existing keyword field in the API report probably can't be changed to include the match type (via braces or quotes) for backward compatibility, but the addition of another field to ideally just specify the match type or at the least contain the text as given in the UI (with braces/quotes as appropriate) should work?
