Python Web Development Techdegree Student 15,616 PointsGetting a 404 when calling https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json
I've tried using JavaScript as outlined in the tutorial
const https = require('https');
function getProfile() {
const request = https.get(
"https://teamtreehouse.com/frankgenova.json",
(response) => {
console.dir(response.statusCode);
}
);
}
getProfile();
and with Python (as a sanity check)
import requests
r = requests.get('https://teamtreehouse.com/frankgenova.json')
print(r.status_code)
both approaches return a 404.
