Retrieve data from JSON

[G12Consult]

I am trying to receive data from a json feed.

I can successfully perform the http request which gives me some json data like below:

jsonObject = {{
"data": [
{
"latitude": -20.025382,
"longitude": 143.314035,
"type": "address",
"name": "xxxx",
"number": "xxx",
"postal_code": "42111",
"street": "xxxx",
"confidence": 1,
...

But when I try to retrieve the latitude, it retrieves nothing.

Here is my code to perform the request and try to read the data:

 Private Sub GetCoordinates()
        Dim url As String = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://api.positionstack.com/v1/forward?access_key=be7ca3e5b82d0405a767ce25c13ceab4&query="[/URL] + txtAddressLine1.Text + "," + txtAddressLine2.Text + "," + txtAddressLine3.Text + "," + txtAddressLine4.Text + "," + txtAddressLine5.Text + "," + txtCity.Text + "," + txtPostcode.Text
        Dim request As HttpWebRequest
        Dim WebResponse As HttpWebResponse = Nothing
        Dim reader As StreamReader


        request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)
        WebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
        reader = New StreamReader(WebResponse.GetResponseStream())

        Dim RawResponse = reader.ReadToEnd()


        Dim json As String = RawResponse
        Dim jsonObject As Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(json)



        Session("Latitude") = CStr(jsonObject("latitude"))
        'Session("Latitude") = jsonObject.SelectToken("data.latitude")



    End Sub

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

If you can edit the post, I recommend you remove the access_key value from the code block.
