        request.Method = "GET"
        request.ContentLength = 0
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", accessToken.Value))
        Using response = TryCast(request.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
            Using reader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
                Dim Reports As PBIReports = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of PBIReports)(reader.ReadToEnd())
