var GetText ;
require('https').get('https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=10&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new', (res) => {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (body) {

You need a buffer variable to add upon inside res.on('data') then set the getString variable on the res.on('end') event. Here is a nice article if you want to read more on the issue.
