I cannot seem to figure out the problem with my code and cannot find any other times this has happened to anyone. Please help

The problem is in assigning my “apiUrl” variable, if you look at the console I print out what it gives me and I don’t see where I’m going wrong. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
$.getJson is an asynchronous function. Basically it requests some data and let’s the code go further while it waits for a response - the data to arrive.
$.getJSON("url", function(data) {
// this is the code that runs when you receive data - after request finishes
});
// this is the code that will run first - before request finishes
Jquery promises might be a topic worth investigating.

Thank you so much I didn’t know that. Fixed!
