//problem: we need a simple way to look at a user's badge count and JS points
//solution: use node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out
var https = require("https");
var username = "williamcurry2";

function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points){
  var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in JavaScript";
  console.log(message);
}

//connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
var request = https.get(https://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response){    
                       console.dir(response);
                       //read the data
                       //parse the data
                       //print the data
});
