Node.js assignment to const variable error

Question

const url='https://api.mapbox.com/geocoding/v5/mapbox.places/Los%20Angeles.json?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoic2FtLWhhd2t6IiwiYSI6ImNrMDl2YXU4aTBieTEzY252aHpvZHd5Y3YifQ.v8Xh5bZiNbkTR7FlQwIgYQ'                                                     request=({url:url, json:true}, (error,response) =>{
const latitude = response.body.features[0].center[0]
const longitude = response.body.features[0].center[1]
console.log(latitude,longitude) })

Here I used an api to geocode my location but I'm getting a TypeError: Assigment to const variable. According to me that error should only come when the const value is changing in the code but it's staying the same throughout then where is the problem?

@MohammedAmirAnsari that must've been misplaced during copying the code but it is there and I'm still getting the error. — user5658591

Could you update the code and make sure it's correct, please. — Hamza

You had an extra = sign in your code, try this:

const url = 'https://api.mapbox.com/geocoding/v5/mapbox.places/Los%20Angeles.json?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoic2FtLWhhd2t6IiwiYSI6ImNrMDl2YXU4aTBieTEzY252aHpvZHd5Y3YifQ.v8Xh5bZiNbkTR7FlQwIgYQ';

request({ url: url, json: true }, (error, response) => {
  const latitude = response.body.features[0].center[0];
  const longitude = response.body.features[0].center[1];
  console.log(latitude,longitude);
})
