Wind Chime Server

This is the backend server used to make calls to the OpenWeatherMap API as well as the /users and /playlist endpoints for the client.

Wind Chime combines your current weather conditions with a selected genre (or your top artists) to make a custom Spotify playlist that fits the mood of the weather.
