• Provides data and makes Spotify API calls for React front end (repo)
  
• View live site here (please be patient while Heroku wakes up)

Features

• Authorizes users through Spotify's Web API Authorization to access a user's top tracks, audio features, top artists, and playlists
  
• When prompted by React front end app, makes specific requests for user data to Spotify's API and renders data to the front end

Architecture

• See app folder for application code
• Utilizes the Spotify Web API to authorize users and access private data
