HackerRank Native HTTP Request

Hello Developers.

I just did a test on HackerRank for a company which need me to do a GET request to an API:
https://jsonmock.hackerrank.com/api/articles?author=epaga&page=1

But not client code example was provided.
I assumed then that I should use something native from erlang like:

Application.ensure_all_started(:inets)
Application.ensure_all_started(:ssl)
httpc.request(:get, {https://jsonmock.hackerrank.com/api/articles?author=epaga&page=1', []}, [], [])

But then I received another http:port_request/1 error.

(There was no way of adding external libraries)

How would you have solved this?

Best Regards
