Hello Brandon,
ReportDefinitionService is currently deprecated and replaced by AdHoc report. It is the fastest way to get information about large number of the API objects. See this guide for more details: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting For reports and fields reference see: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports I also recommend to use one of our client libraries as they make reports usage very easy: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries -Danial, AdWords API Team.
