40,532 PointsYour code is correct but when you're building the Request
, you're calling url before apiUrl is defined. You'll need to move that code below the declaration.

Request request = new Request.Builder() .url(apiUrl) .build(); Request request=new Request.Builder().url(apiUrl).build();
}
}
I tried this and am still not passing.I am not getting what you mean exactly by moving the code below the declaration.The code above is what i did after you said i should put the code below the declaration.
