Answer 8

The code does work. Try using this URL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Wikipedia
As I said before the correct template literals syntax uses backtickts: ``

Answer 13

XMLHttpRequest is a web API available on browsers. Run your code in web playground.

Use template literals `${to allow string interpolation } `

Answer 14

Abhay Try Tiger 🙂. Btw this is my first xp with Wikipedia Api, learning new stuff.

Galaxy-Coding (CodeWarrior) But why?

Answer 15

Galaxy-Coding (CodeWarrior) Line 45: fetch(endpoint+userinput)

userinput is an empty string. You haven't update it. Just use the recieved line to fetch:
fetch(endpoint+input)

You can find "input" at line 45 in the callback to readline.on("line")

Answer 16

Ok, so essentially, you need to replace whitespaces with underscores, like this:
Hurricane Katrina
To
Hurricane_Katrina

Answer 17

When I add tiger instead of Wikipedia ,it throws error ,any idea why so Kevin ★

Answer 18

Well that worked ,ty but in browser "tiger" works well tho!
well that tiger was automatically converted to Tiger after I checked the link

something is happening in between when request is made from using a browser and fetch but no idea what is it!

Answer 19

The code is okay, you are fetching from the wrong url
