Hey Toni,

are you talking about the first task? If so, you have to store the result of the get method. To achieve this you just have to write var request = in front of the get method that's already there.

Here is the working code for task 1:

var http = require("http");

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){
  console.log(response.statusCode);
});
