Within the function get() you have a variable

 let body = ""

This is within a function call this is now scoped within that please see comments!

function get(query) {
  let body= ""; // Move this to the top of the function! 
  const request= http.get(`http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=${query}&APPID=${api.key}`, response=> {
    // let body= ""; <--- This is scoped within this function ^
    response.on("data", data=>{
      body+= data.toString;
    });
    response.on('end', ()=>{
      const core= JSON.parse(body);
      console.dir(core);
    });
  });
};
