I've checked over the code and it looks like it mirrors the
const https = require('https'); const username = "chalkers";
//Function to print message to console
function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
const message = ${username} has ${badgeCount} total badge(s) and ${points} points in JavaScript
;
console.log(message);
}
// Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
const request = https.get(https://teamtreehouse.com/${username}.json
, response => {
let body = "";
// Read the data
response.on('data', data => {
body += 'data:', data.toString();
});
response.on('end', () => {
// Parse the data
const profile = JSON.parse(body);
console.dir(profile);
// Print the data
});
});

I hope you were able to solve your problem. If not, I tested your code and noticed it is slightly different than the presented one.
Presented one:
// Read the data
response.on("data", data => {
body += data.toString();
})
Yours was as follows:
// Read the data
response.on('data', data => {
body += 'data:', data.toString();
});
It works for me this way.
