Chose to build this as an app so that other users could put in their own API keys. Thinking there is probably an extra advanced challenge in here somewhere that actually builds this as a full, multi-parameter app that lets you select which type of report you want to run, choose the data you want to return, enter whichever parameters you wish to provide... then it assembles the query and returns the results based on your app selections. But I've had too many Reese's at this point, so that's going to be a challenge for a different day!
