There was an error getting the profile for chalkers. (Unauthorized)

When trying to request /chalkers information I receive this message: "There was an error getting the profile for chalkers. (Unauthorized)"

var Profile = require("./profile.js");

function home (req, res){
  if (req.url === "/")  {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-type':'text/plain'});
    res.write("Home header\n");
    res.end("Goodbye");
  }
}

function user (req, res) {
  var username = req.url.replace("/", "");
  if(username.length > 0) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-type':'text/plain'});
    res.write("Profile Header\n");

    var studentProfile = new Profile(username);
    studentProfile.on("end", function(profileJSON) {
      var values = {
        avatarUrl: profileJSON.gravatar_url,
        username: profileJSON.profile_name,
        badges: profileJSON.badges.length,
        javaScriptPoints: profileJSON.points.JavaScript
      }
      res.write(values.username + " has " + values.badges + " badges\n");
      res.end('Profile Footer\n');
    });

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