If you want to use a template string (strings that accept placeholders like ${username}) then you have to use backticks ` to open and close the string instead of double quotes ". Like this:

const request = https.get(`https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json`, (response) => { 
    let body = "";
    response.on("data", (data) => { 
        body += data.toString(); 
    });
    response.on("end", () => { 
        console.log(body); 
        console.log(typeof body); 
    }); 
});

If you are unfamiliar with template strings then you can watch this workspace that Treehouse made for that topic.
