ThingSpeak field read problem

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices
1

I am trying to read the field data I saved in my channel, of course, I made the channel public.
I am using Arduino Uno and ESP-01 as a WiFi module.

I can logged the data successfully
but I cannot read the last data I logged.
I can read the data using web browser but cannot with Arduino.

https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/948343/fields/1/last.txt

I also tried the ThingSpeak library but to fail.

I googled and tried to change wireless network but to fail either.

Here is my sketch.
I cannot read anything.
The server returns nothing.

I missed something?

#include <WiFiEsp.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define READ_INTERVAL 20000L   // reading interval

SoftwareSerial ESPSerial(2, 3);     // port for ESP-01
WiFiEspClient client;

char AP[] = "my SSID";
char PW[] = "SSID PW";

char HOST[] = "api.thingspeak.com";

unsigned long time_previous, time_current;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);       // UART to computer
  ESPSerial.begin(9600);      // UART to ESP-01

  WiFi.init(&ESPSerial);      // initialize ESP-01

  Serial.println(F("* Try to connect to AP"));
  if (WiFi.begin(AP, PW) != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.println(F("* Cannot connect to AP"));
    while (1);
  }
  else {
    Serial.println(F("* Connected to AP."));
  }
  Serial.println();

  time_previous = millis();
}

void loop() {
  time_current = millis();

  if (time_current - time_previous >= READ_INTERVAL) {
    time_previous = time_current;

    readTempData(); // read last logged temperature data
  }
}

void readTempData() {
  if (!client.connect(HOST, 80)) {    // make a TCP connection
    Serial.println(F("* Connection error to ThingSpeak server"));
    Serial.println();

    time_previous = millis();
    cleanUpTCPconnection();     // clean up TCP connection
  }
  else { // read temperature data
    Serial.println(F("* Try to read the last logged temperature data"));

    String command = "GET ";
    String url = "/channels/948343/fields/1/last.txt";

    String readStr = command + url;

    client.println(readStr);
    client.println();

    // server response
    unsigned long time_start_wait = millis(), wait_time = 20000;

    Serial.println();
    Serial.print("\"");
    while (millis() < time_start_wait + wait_time) {
      while (client.available()) {
        Serial.print(client.read());
      }
    }
    Serial.println("\"");

    cleanUpTCPconnection();     // clean up TCP connection
  }
}

void cleanUpTCPconnection() {
  if (client.connected()) {
    client.flush();
    client.stop();
  }
}
