API returns a html error response instead of json string

I am trying to use "http://api.irkfdb.in/facts/random" as a get request from a nodejs program but instead I get I get a HTML page stating "Whoops, looks like something went wrong.".

Below is a my nodejs code. Is there something that I am missing?

'use strict';

var http = require('http');

function test() {
    let url = "http://api.irkfdb.in/facts/random";
    let request = http.get(url, function(response) {
        let body = "";
        response.on('data', function(chunk) {
            body += chunk;
        });

        response.on('end', function() {
            try {
                console.log(body);
            } catch(e) {
                console.log(e);
            }
        })
    });
}
test();

I have also attached body variable content.
