[About Node js] Although I've watched the video, still can't figure out what these code doing....

I know something(a few lines of code) but not sure if it's correct, please help.

const https = require("https");
// I know this line is for "loading the http module"

const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
//And the url is where I can get the data.
//And there's a function named "response"

//below ... I don't understand.
    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
            responseBody+=dataChunk.toString();

    });

    response.on("end", () => {
        console.log(responseBody);
    });

});

request.on("error", error => {
    console.error(error.message);
});
