Use the Customer/Campaign/AdGroupFeedService to find the Customer/Campaign/AdGroupFeed with *placeholderTypes* containing 2 (for CALL), and then inspect its *matchingFunction* to determine the FeedItem IDs. b. Use the *Placeholder Feed Item Report* <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#placeholder-feed-item> with *includeZeroImpressions* <http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2011/12/zero-impression-data-in-adwords-api.html> set to *true*, and look/filter for rows where *PlaceholderType* is equal to 2, and grab the *FeedId* and *FeedItemId* from those rows. This option seems simpler to me, since you won't have to interpret the matching function.
