In meteor how do you make an API request

I am trying to get JSON data from SportsRadar using an API request. My trial url is: http://api.sportradar.us/nba/trial/v4/en/games/2018/03/03/schedule.json?api_key=4j9ge4a4rgsbq597f29p9rgb

When I copy this url into my google browser, the data I get back is as expected, but when I try to use/add the API request to my meteor project the API request does not return any data. As a test, in my client/main.js file I have added: 

HTTP.call('GET',Meteor.absoluteUrl("http://api.sportradar.us/nba/trial/v4/en/games/2018/03/03/schedule.json?api_key=4j9ge4a4rgsbq597f29p9rgb"), 
   function(err,result){
      console.log(result.data);
   });

The console log result come back as null. Any guidance or thoughts will be appreciated - cfp

You need to call your callback function correctly. Try this;

HTTP.call('GET','http://api.sportradar.us/nba/trial/v4/en/games/2018/03/03/schedule.json?api_key=4j9ge4a4rgsbq597f29p9rgb'), 
   function(err,result){
      if (result) {
         console.log(result.data);
      }
      console.log(err);
   });

Edit: The parameters of The HTTP.call() is corrected by removing Meteor.absoluteUrl()in the question upon Derrick's comment below.

You can also refer to the official documentation here.
