Node.js Basics "Making A Get Request": I am getting a "404" statusCode when I request the statusCode, instead of "200"?

Here is my current code:

// Problem: We need a simple way to look at a user's badge count and JavaScript points // Solution: Use Node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out //Require https module

const https = require(https); const username = "Ben"; //VARIABLE FOR USERNAME

// 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://treehouse.com/username.json) const request = https.get(https://treehouse.com/${username}.json, response => {

//REQUEST TREEHOUSE WEBSITE

//CALL RESPONSE IN DIRECTORY USING.DIR
console.log(response.statusCode);

//Read the Data in //Parse the Json Data (as its in the string) //Print the Data } );

Why am I getting "404" instead of "200", as necessary, when I call "node app.js" in the Console?
