How to get adwords conversions along with gclids via python adwords API?

Question

am wondering which of the reports from https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ I should query to get conversion_name, count, value and gclid?

Doubleclick search has https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-search/v2/reference/conversion/get , cannot find something similar for Adwords API.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I sense this answer may be a little a disappointing! I do not think its possible to get a report with gclids and conversions. There is a report 'click_performance_report' which contains the gclid for each click, however there are no columns for conversions. Your best bet is to use a third party tracking tool to log gclids and conversion names/values.

Conversion data is only available within the following reports:
