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: `` https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JavaScript/2969/

Galaxy-Coding There are many ways to fetch with Node. Example using https module: https://code.sololearn.com/cvh4pqZ7K4Zf/?ref=app

XMLHttpRequest is a web API available on browsers. Run your code in web playground. Use template literals `${to allow string interpolation } `

Abhay Try Tiger 🙂. Btw this is my first xp with Wikipedia Api, learning new stuff. Galaxy-Coding (CodeWarrior) But why?

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")

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

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!
