Hi, Could you provide more details on your use case? AdWords will try to remove invalid clicks from reports<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2549113>, if that's what you are asking. If you are trying to determine if a GCLID is invalid you could compare it to the GCLIDs in the Click Performance Report<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#click>, but there will be a delay<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2544985>. In addition, AdWords may detect that a click is invalid a few days after it occurred, so you would need to rerun your report a few days later if you needed 100% accuracy.
If I haven't answered your question please provide some more information on what you are trying to achieve.
