Now, in the http.get() call pass in an anonymous function as a callback with the parameter of response. This function is

var http = require("http"); var https = require("https"); http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json") https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json") //var http= require("http");

var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){ console.log(response.statusCode); });

app.js 
//var http = require("http");
var https = require("https");
var http= require("http");
http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(request){
console.log(response);
});


https.get("https://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json")



//request.on('error', function(error){ console.error(error.message); //use the error method on the console to print out the error message. });

You entered 'request' as a parameter for the function. Try:

http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/chalkers.json", function(response){
console.log(response);
});
