Thanks for the reply Eric.

This raises some more questions for us now.

1) How does token substitution work for these creative types? Usually
we would submit a token in the URL which you replace with a creative
ID, which we can then use to link back to the creative. As the
creative itself isn't available via the API, this infers that token
substitution in these cases either would work differently, or not at
all. Is this question better asked in other place?

2) Is impressions & click data for these creative types included in
reports available via the API? I've had a quick look at the reports in
the AdWords UI, and these appear to match the API reports. So I'm not
clear on whether we should expect to see this data or not. Obviously
if the data *is* coming through in API reports, we will have trouble
reconciling what it relates to. Alternatively, what reporting options
are available?

Thanks :)

Dan
