responseBody += datachunk.tostring();

You haven"t added datachunk to responseBody.

app.js
const https = require("https");
const request = https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", response => {
    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
      responseBody += datachunk.tostring();
    });

    response.on("end", () => {
        console.log(responseBody);
    });

});

request.on("error", error => {
    console.error(error.message);
});

Hi there! You're doing great, but you have some capitalization errors.

You wrote:

datachunk.tostring();

But you meant to write:

dataChunk.toString();

When I clear up the capitalization problems, your code passes the first step! :sparkles:
