Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,238 PointsUnexpected end of JSON input ERROR
I finished the error messages when the status code is wrong but when i rechange the username there's an error in the console (Unexpected end of JSON input) My code is: // Look at a user's badge count and JS points // Use node.js o connect Treehouse's API and print profile information.
var http = require("http"); var username = "kaddourmedjedoub";
//Print out message function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) { var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in Javascript!"; console.log(""); console.log(message); console.log(""); }
//Print ou error messages function printError(error){ console.error(error.message); }
// Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json) var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response) { var body = ""; // Read the data response.on('data', function(chunk) { body += chunk; }); response.on("end", function(){ if (response.statusCode === 301) { try{ var profile = JSON.parse(body); printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript); } catch(error) { //Parse Error printError(error); } } else { //Status Code Error printError({message: "There was an error getting the profile for " + username + ". (" + http.STATUS_CODES[response.statusCode] + ") "}); } }); // Parse the data // Print the data }); //<---------- callback ends here
//Connection Error request.on("error", printError);

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsThis really confuse me - any reason behind these 3x console.log? console.log(""); console.log(message); console.log("");
Any why do you use if (response.statusCode === 301) instead of === 200 as in the video? :-)

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,238 Pointsfor the x3 console logs it's just a technique to see that better, and for the statusCode i think my stqtusCode is 301 because when i change it it says There was an error getting the profile for kaddourmedjedoub
