      </v8:SubmitGenerateReportRequest>
      </soapenv:Body>
      </soapenv:Envelope>";

        HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://adcenterapi.microsoft.com/Api/Advertiser/v8/Reporting/ReportingService.svc");

        req.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
        req.Method = "POST";
        req.Accept = "text/xml";

        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream()))
        {
            writer.Write(xml);
        }

        WebResponse response1 = req.GetResponse();
        Stream responseStream = response1.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader myStreamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
        string responseData = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd();

AFAIK the Arrays namespace should not be https.

xmlns:arr='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays'

Also you shouldn't need extra quotes around KeywordPerformanceReportRequest. "v8:KeywordPerformanceReportRequest"

That should not impact the request, but is not necessary.

I hope this helps!

This line:

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://adcenterapi.microsoft.com/Api/Advertiser/v8/Reporting/ReportingService.svc");

Shouldn't you have ?wsdl in the URL, like this:

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://adcenterapi.microsoft.com/Api/Advertiser/v8/Reporting/ReportingService.svc?wsdl");
