Weather Data not printing in my command line

I tried to print the weatherData as shown in the image from the URL, but it's not printing out in the console. What could the problem and how do I rectify it?

Two problems with your code (besides that it comes as a screenshot):

• Lines 11 and 14 refer to different response objects.
• The data event delivers only one chunk of data; there may be several, followed by an end event.

https.get(url, function(response) {
  console.log(response.statusCode);
  var weatherData = "";
  response.on("data", function(data) {
    weatherData  = data.toString();
  }).on("end", function() {
    console.log(JSON.parse(weatherData));
  });
});

By far the easiest way to download is use Windows native Curl command which you can run via a Cmd console window, to save the response file, then query that response.txt

First confirm your url is valid (click link below)

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Paris&appid=536bcef96b2f01cd9b9f076db90807fe&unit=metric

If you are using windows 10 or 11 you should have a native version of curl simply try this at cmd line (NOTE you need for each & within the url to escape with ^ like this ^&)

curl -o response.txt https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Paris^&appid=536bcef96b2f01cd9b9f076db90807fe^&unit=metric

type response.txt

you could include both in one line but for the &type that last & does not need ^escape

curl -o response.txt https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Paris^&appid=536bcef96b2f01cd9b9f076db90807fe^&unit=metric&type response.txt

after the download you should see the response.txt in the console.

so you can call that command any way you wish (hidden>nul or not) and or read the text file on the screen or in any application you choose.
