Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 9,455 Pointsgetting a 401 statusCode with an unauthorized message
const https = require("https");
function getProfile() {
// Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/csalgado.json)
const request = https.get(
"https://teamtreehouse.com/csalgado.json",
(response) => {
console.dir(response.statusCode);
}
);
// Read the data
// Parse the data
// Print the data
}
getProfile();
I followed the video along and wrote the code but I am getting a 401 status code saying unauthorized. I even tried to change the user to my profile name and got the same message. Am I doing something wrong in my code or is something else going on?

Treehouse StaffHi Kelby Nylander,
Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention! The routes have recently changed and redirects are in place to visit your actual profile page but have not yet been implemented to do the same on the JSON responses. We've filed a ticket to our IT team to fix this issue.
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 9,455 PointsI solved this issue on my own and wanted to share in case anyone else has the same issue. The file path for the URL is incomplete and should be "https://teamtreehouse.com/profiles/csalgado.json" once I changed the URL it worked as expected.
