getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND teamtreehouse error

Again, could be a typo..but I've gone through the code repeatedly and can't find it.

Keep getting the following error in node console:

events.js:160                                                                                                            
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
Error:  getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND teamtreehouse teamtreehouse:443
       at errornoException (dns.js:29:10)
        at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:7

code:

// Problem: We need a simple way to look at a user's badge count and JavaScript points
// Solution: Use Node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out
//you need to require the node modules needed.  since in this case the node module is https the variable name https is a logical choice
const https = require('https');
const username = "alee2";

//function to print message to console:
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
const message = `${username} has ${badgeCount} and ${points} points in JavaScript`;
  console.log(message);
}

//printMessage("chaulkers", 100, 2000);

//connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse/alee2.json)
const request = https.get(`https://teamtreehouse/{$username}.json`, (response) => {
   console.log(response);

     //Read the data

     //Parse the data

     //Print the data

});

NEVERMIND. found the incredibly stupid mistake......... Except now. using the CORRECT URL I'm getting a 404 and that's where I'm stumped.

NEVERMIND again...another really stupid mistake.

Apologies for the multiple postings on this. i am STILL getting a 404. if I cut and paste the URL into the browser it works. but once written into app.js doesn't. can someone please help.

const https = require('https');
const username = 'alee2';

//function to print message to console:
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
const message = `${username} has ${badgeCount} and ${points} points in JavaScript`;
  console.log(message);
}

//connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse/alee2.json)
const request = https.get(`https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json`, response => {
   console.dir(response);
   console.log(response.statusCode);

     //Read the data

     //Parse the data

     //Print the data

});

The solution would work well when used along with the workspace since your browser is already authenticated, For running it on the local, the https.get() needs to be supplied with a header with basic authentication.
