Why isn’t this working? It should be perfect.

function getProfile(username){

const request = https.get(https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json, response => { let body = ""; response.on('data', data => { body += data.toString(); });

response.on('end', () => { const profile = JSON.parse(body); printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript); });

I'm pretty sure that there is no such thing as perfect code. hehe

Don't you at least need tics for your template code?

If there was "perfect" code, you'd never have to ask why it wasn't working. :smirk:

You are missing inverted ticks on the first argument of the https.get() method. Write it like this https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json
