Why is this not passing task 2 the code challenge for the Open Weather Map API?

The question is this: To use the Open Weather Map API, you need to specify a city name or state and state or country. Add a property to the data object. The name of the property should be "q" and the value should be a string with the name of a city, followed by a comma, and a state or country name. For example: q : "Portland, OR". I am not sure what they are looking for. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code:

$(document).ready(function(){
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
var data = {
  q : "Portland, OR",
    };
};

are you missing a ) ?

$(document).ready(function(){
    var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
    var data = {
        q : "Portland, OR",
    };
});
