Hi Nadine,

Is there a specific place in the documentation where you were getting the 
> CSV?


I think Mark was talking about the CSV download links on 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports 
(e.g. 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report.csv
 
for 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report)

Reporting documentation (unlike SOAP documentation) is not versioned, which 
is very annoying for developers. Once a new API version is released we lose 
documentation for the API version we're still using in our code (we have to 
use the release notes and migration guide to guess what the report fields 
specification was before).

And since I'm on the topic of documentation problems, I'll complain a bit 
more: I (and some of my fellow developers too) really don't like the new 
2-column table structure. It was much better/easier to use when when had 
separate columns for "Type", "Display name", "XML attribute", "Behavior", 
etc.

Does anyone have a copy of those csvs? They seem to have been taken down 
> from the web.

 
To Mark: I don't have a copy of the old CSVs, but it's still possible to 
get the report fields from previous API version through the SOAP 
ReportDefinitionService. See for 
example 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/ReportDefinitionService
 
for v201506.

You should even be able to re-build an similar CSV file for each report 
type.
