Hi,

It still is not possible to get ad-level information from either the 
AdWords API placement reports or the AdWords user interface.

Note that the *KeywordId* field in the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report>
 will 
contain the ID of whichever criterion triggered the ad, not just *Keyword*s. 
Therefore, for impressions that the single attribution model 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting-concepts#single>
 attributed 
to placements, you will get *Placement* criterion IDs in that field. 
However, it's highly likely that this will not be the case for many 
impressions for a given *Placement*.

If capturing the ad -> placement association is critical for your use case, 
you could include the *{creative}* and *{placement}* ValueTrack parameters 
<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375447?hl=en#examples> in your 
URLs, and then capture that information in your tracker.

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team
