Hello Hans,
There is no easy way to update URLs and this is a product decision (not specific to the API). You can use ValueTrack to have some dynamic parameters: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375447?hl=en One of the options can be to create new ads first and wait for them to be reviewed before deleting the old ads. This will not solve the stats issue though. -Danial, AdWords API Team.
