Hello Kathryn,

The code you does provide a response. But it is not getting what you want because you need to use a backtick (tilde key on keyboard) instead of a quote. The backtick allows the use of Template literals. (ie: ${username}) in your JS code. If you update you code to use backticks it should work. Also you can always check the status code of the response to see if it was a success or not in the debugging process. ( console.log(response.statusCode) should return 200 on success or in the case of your original code 404 (error).
