The problem with the code is that you are making https request and in your url you are using "http" instead of "https". So if you change your url to "https" it should work.

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Gwalior&appid=4b01458a2b74d57ff37f136f382ac4d5&units=metric

I know you have figured this out but for the purpose of those that might run into this in the future - So the code should be:

const express = require("express");
var https = require("https");


const app = express();


app.get("/", function(req, res) {

    const url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Gwalior&appid=4b01458a2b74d57ff37f136f382ac4d5&units=metric";

    https.get(url, function(response) {
        console.log(response.statusCode)
    });
    res.send("Server is Up and Running");
})



app.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log("Server is running on port 3000.");
})

Your doing https request and your url starts with http:// when it should be https://.
