How to make an XML HttpRequest

XMLHttpRequest.js

//For this gist, I'm using a free, public API that shows information about a user's location based on their IP address

//here's where I store the API key I was provided with
const myKey = 'c00508dc4104c70518fcf49e17216676';
//here's a random IP from the internet
const myIp = '191.101.63.2';

function myRequest(){
    //initialize the XMLHttpRequest object
    const request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    //set the parameters to be used in the call
    request.open("GET", 'http://api.ipstack.com/' + myIp +'?access_key='+ myKey +'&format=1',true);
    //send the request
    request.send();
    //once the response has been received, do XYZ with the response
    request.onload = function(){
        //parse the response and write it on the console
        console.log(JSON.parse(request.responseText));
    }  
}

myRequest();

myRequest();
