Hello, We have determined that this is actually working as intended. The "Clicks" column in the API is misnamed, as I mentioned before, and counts both clicks *and* engagements. The "interactions" column of the web interface includes all interactions, which may include clicks, engagements, and video views depending on the current filters you have set. If you compare "Clicks" minus "Engagements" from the API, then that will match the "Clicks" column of the web interface.
Hopefully this clarifies things.
