const router = require('./router.js');

//1. Create a web server
const server = http.createServer((req,res)=> {

            studentProfile.on("error", function(error){
                //show error
                res.write(error.message + "\n");
                res.end('Footer\n');
            })
        }
                //tampilkan error

You have a few issues with parsing the response. You need the membership operator (period) instead of underscore when accessing a sub-property:

  • instead of profileJSON.badges_length, you probably want profileJSON.badges.length
  • instead of profileJSON.points_Javascript try profileJSON.points.JavaScript

What Steven said. Should be:

var values = {
        avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
        username: profileJSON.profile_name,
        badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
        javascriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
      }
