  "items_count": 17,
  "reports": [
    {
      "request_id": "ri3p58f-48598ea7-1234-5678-90ab-faabd79abcde",
      "request_status": "SUCCESS",
      "direction": "outbound",
      "product": "SMS",
      "account_id": "abcd1234",
      "date_start": "2020-05-21T13:27:00+0000",
      "date_end": "2020-05-21T13:57:00+0000",
      "include_subaccounts": false,
      "status": "delivered",
      "include_message": false,
      "receive_time": "2020-06-03T15:24:31+0000",
      "start_time": "2020-06-03T15:24:32+0000",
      "_links": {
        "self": {
          "href": "https://api.nexmo.com/v2/reports/ri3p58f-48598ea7-1234-5678-90ab-faabd79abcde"
        },
        "download_report": {
          "href": "https://api.nexmo.com/v3/media/e87a2d7c-abcd-1234-aa45-9bf17a1eb2a1"
        }
      },
      "items_count": 4
    },
    ...
  ]
}

    The file_id is also returned in the response, in this case e87a2d7c-abcd-1234-aa45-9bf17a1eb2a1. The file_id is used to subsequently download a report Zip file.
