Hi Josh,
Although you are querying an AdWords account, it looks like your report is
a Google Analytics report. This group only covers the AdWords API so I
would suggest re-posting to the Google Analytics Reporting API
group<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/google-analytics-api>.
Someone in that group should be able to help.
Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team
