// 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
const username = "chalkers";
//Require
const https = require('https')
//Function to print message to console
function printMessage(userName, badgeCount, points) {
const message = `${userName} has ${badgeCount} total badge(s) and ${points} points in Javascript`;
console.log(message)
}
printMessage("chalkers", 100, 2000);
//Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
const request = http.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json', response => {

//Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
const request = https.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json', response => {
//Read the data
//Parse the data
//Print the data
console.log(response);
});
