You have to verify that each child of your object exists before you reference the next level. In your case, that means testing the existence of result and then result.profiles before trying to use any of the object values in profiles . See the code below.

Without seeing the rest of your case statement or how you're setting the value of face , it's hard to tell if you're going to run into other issues.

 case '!facebook': face.Profile(facebook, function(result) { // Set default values let like = null; let comments = null; // Set values only if there's a result containing profiles if (result && result.profiles) { like = result.profiles.like; comments = result.profiles.comments; } if (like === null || comments === null){ //code } else { //code } }); break;
