API request catches exception NULL response - api

Question

I am using NYT's developers movie reviews API, and i am at the beginning where i just want to see a response. It appears that i get a NULL response which catches the exception that i will pinpoint on the code. " CharSequence text = "There was an error. Please try again";" to help you find it. Could someone please tell me what causes this problem.
