App is deployed to heroku but returns a server error

Question

I have my application working perfectly when I run it locally. However, once it was deployed to Heroku, the server stopped returning the data and returns a 500 code. All of my code can be found here and the live application (not functioning) is here .

EDIT: Here are the heroku logs:

EDIT 2: It turns out that I had my config.env added to my .gitignore , so my server didn't have access to my environment variables to make the API call. Now I am wondering if taking it out of the .gitignore is going to allow users to access the file, which is what I don't want.

Answer 1
