5,712 PointsNode.js course - getting same error when using template literal username
"undefined:1 <html><body>You are being <a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/home">redirected</a>.</body></html> SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> ((removed)/profileSearch/app.js:24:40) at IncomingMessage.emit (node:events:539:35) at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1344:12) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)"
I get this error any time i try to run the app and I cant find any resources to help me. when the request was previously not a template literal I was not having this issue, even though the issue appears to be the json that the program is expecting. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

getProfile("marksebeck");
it runs fine
