It says "profile is not defined"

When I run the code, it says "Reference Error: profile is not defined" why is that? I think it is the exact same code as the teachers code but it doesn't work. My workspace is https://w.trhou.se/bxh5q78nf3 Could someone help me out? Thanks.

Hi

It looks like Print Message is outside of the response call where profile is defined

  response.on('end', () => {
    // Parse the data
    const profile = JSON.parse(body);
  })
  // Print the data  
  printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript);

update to

  response.on('end', () => {
    // Parse the data
    const profile = JSON.parse(body);
  // Print the data  
  printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript);
  })
