HTTP request won't get data from API. Gamemaker Studio 1.4.9 - api

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get information from a dictionary API in Gamemaker Studio 1.4.9
I'm lost since I can't figure out how to get around the API's server block. All my return shows is a blank result.
Step Event:
if(keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space)){
http_get("https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/test");
}
HTTP Event:
var requestResult = ds_map_find_value(async_load, "result");
var resultMap = json_decode(requestResult);
if(resultMap == -1)
{
show_message("Invalid result");
exit;
}
if(ds_map_exists(resultMap,"word")){
var name= ds_map_find_value(resultMap, "word");
show_message("The word name is "+name);
}
Maybe my formatting is wrong? It's supposed to say the word test in the show_message function, but again, all I get returned is a blank result.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can see through the debugger that the data is coming from the server. But your code does not correctly try to retrieve the Word.

This code gets this word
show_debug_message("http received")
var requestResult = ds_map_find_value(async_load, "result");
var resultMap = json_decode(requestResult);
if(resultMap == -1)
{
show_message("Invalid result");
exit;
}
if(ds_map_exists(resultMap,"default")){
var defaultList = ds_map_find_value(resultMap, "default")
var Map = ds_list_find_value(defaultList, 0)
var name= ds_map_find_value(Map, "word");
show_message("The word name is "+name);
}
