Treehouse TeacherHi Daniel Ahn!
We can't really talk specifics without being able to see your code but the URL you are linking above is only part of what you need to get data from the API. You will want to add the astronaut name to the end so that what you are searching for is defined.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 26,251 PointsThe point about the way the link is constructed in the program, is that it takes the names from the AstrosUrl, which is the list of names of people currently in space, and appends it to the WikiUrl link, and takes the article data from that, so any request for the WikiUrl would be rewritten as (wikiUrl + person.name) -https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/person.name - For example:
and these links contain the information about the astronauts to build the section HTML from.
