Andrew Chalkley:

At 2:10 in the video, "https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers123.json" is Samuel Ames profile! I added a "4" to the end of the URL above for this exercise. At 7:49 in the video, when I ran "node app.js" in the console, I got "ReferenceError: http is not defined." I looked at another student's comment about adding "var http = require("http");" on line 3 in the app.js file. The entire lesson works if this is added. Apparently, when Treehouse updated to "https" from "http", that affected this particular lesson. Also, be very careful with the if/else loop & the "{}" pairing & placement of the "else" part of the loop. I had my "else" behind the wrong "}". Once that was corrected, my code was perfected for this lesson.
