Python: Adwords API: How to Return a List of Available Report Types Using the API?

On this page, there are the available report types: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports

Using an Adwords Service, is it possible to get a list of available report types?

Ex: Using the reportDefinitionService, it's possible to get report FIELDS:

adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient(developer_token, oauth2_client, user_agent,
                                       client_customer_id=client_customer_id)
service = adwords_client.GetService('ReportDefinitionService', api_version)
service_response = service.getReportFields('ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT')

for field in service_response:
  print(field.fieldName)

Returns:

AccountCurrencyCode
AccountDescriptiveName
AccountTimeZoneId
ActiveViewCpm
ActiveViewCtr
ActiveViewImpressions
...
VideoViews
ViewThroughConversions
Week
Year

I want to do the same thing, but instead of returning available fields for a given report type, I want to return the names of report types.

Ex: desired output:

ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
AD_CUSTOMIZERS_FEED_ITEM_REPORT
...
URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
USER_AD_DISTANCE_REPORT
VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

Which Adwords API service exists to do this?

AFAIK there is no way to query for this, you would have to read the documentation and choose your report type.

If you want to automate it, I suggest you take a list of all the online reports:

[https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports][1]

and then do:

for report_type in report_types:
  service_response = service.getReportFields(report_type)

this would get you all the fields for each respective report type
