Basic query - get all active ads

Question

Hello,

I'm new to the Bing Ads API so I'm struggling somewhat. I'm trying to implement a very simple task - get all active ads (campaign enabled, ad group enabled, ad enabled) in the account, including 0 impressions ones.

1. My understanding is that the reporting API does not return 0 impressions entities so that is not an option
2. The API service methods only support getting ads per ad group so that requires many API calls x query each active campaigns to load enabled ad groups x 1 API call to get all active campaigns => loads and loads of API calls

For sure there has to be a simple way to get all ads in an account. Can you please point me to the right API approach?

Thank you
