If so, you can get that value from ConversionTrackerService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConversionTrackerService> provided you have an AdWordsConversionTracker <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConversionTrackerService.AdWordsConversionTracker> in your account. You'll have to parse the returned snippet <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConversionTrackerService.AdWordsConversionTracker#snippet> field to get the value, however. If instead you are referring to the *ConversionTypeId* returned by some reports such as the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, you can use ConversionTrackerService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConversionTrackerService> to get your conversion trackers, including their IDs <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConversionTrackerService.ConversionTracker#id> . > 3.

However, conversion names should be unique among user-defined conversion types so the name alone should suffice to identify the conversion type. If you need to find the ID that corresponds to a given name then you will have to use *ConversionTrackerService* to fetch the name/ID pairs. > > Thanks in advance.
