$json_feed_url = 'http://myapi.net/' . $my_plugin_username . '.json';
$args = array( 'timeout' => 120);
$json_feed = wp_remote_get( $json_feed_url, $args );

155,055 PointsHi Mark,
1) You have an extra closing curly brace, so you'll want to get rid of one of those.
2) You'll want to remove the following line:
return $json_feed;
Your function currently has two return statements, and we want to keep those to one per function. Returning the $json_feed variable isn't needed in this case, so we don't need to add it to our needed return statement, either.
Hope this helps!

4,488 Points{ is this the curly brace?
Chase Marchione
155,055 PointsYou have the right amount of those. What you have an extra of is a closing brace ('}').

4,488 PointsThanks for your advice! Its up and running now!

155,055 PointsNot a problem! The rule is that for every opening brace you want one closing brace: otherwise, the compiler gets confused because matching sets of opening and closing braces are used to contain things, such as function bodies.
