Unable to get the API Response from darksky API, the response always goes to onFailure

Question

I have copied the code from the video; however, I am not able to get the JSON response in my logcat. I added a log message in my onFailure and I think the code always goes to the onFailure method. Not too sure why I can't connect to the API, I am pretty sure my URL is correct too as I tried simply copying and pasting from the website too.

Code:

package com.dhruvmittal.stormy;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog; import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log;

import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;

import java.io.IOException;

import okhttp3.Call; import okhttp3.Callback; import okhttp3.OkHttpClient; import okhttp3.Request; import okhttp3.Response;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    String apiKey = "64a62ee416652c32f316cae864d77ada";
    double latitude = 37.8267;
    double longitude = -122.4233;

    String forecastURL = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/"+apiKey+"/"+latitude+","+longitude;

    //String forecastURL = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/e614f7a3d13a567393ceed653c28de35/37.8267,-122.4233";

    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

    Request request = new Request.Builder().url(forecastURL).build();

    Call call = client.newCall(request);

    call.enqueue(new Callback() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NotNull Call call, @NotNull IOException e) {
            Log.v(TAG, "CallBack Failed");
        }

        @Override
        public void onResponse(@NotNull Call call, @NotNull Response response) throws IOException {
            try {

                Log.v(TAG, response.body().string());

                if (response.isSuccessful()){

                }else{
                    alerUserAboutError();
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught: ",e );
            }
        }

    });
    Log.d(TAG, "Main UI code is running!");




}

private void alerUserAboutError() {
    AlertDialogFragment dialog = new AlertDialogFragment();
    dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "error_dialog");
}

}
