Hello @cmiller

 Upon reviewing this, the issue may be relevant to a firewall/proxy server blocking the API call. Try by putting the following into app.config file (just below the configSections).

 

<system.net>

   <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true"></defaultProxy>

</system.net>

 

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers,

Krissia
