API to generate charts in PNG/SVG/HTML

Hi people, I've been working on this API for sometime now and I thought others might find it interesting. The API is available on rapidapi @ https://rapidapi.com/formkiq/api/24hourcharts This API allows you create bar/line/pie/etc charts in a single API call. The only required fields are the type of chart and a list of data points to chart. There are many ways to create charts, but I've found most charting solutions only work inside the application they are created in. I was looking for a solution that allows me to use/create/share charts…

In plain words

This API generates bar, line, pie, and other chart types in PNG, SVG, or HTML format with a single call, requiring only the chart type and data points. It's designed for developers who need to create and share charts outside their application environment without being locked into a specific tool. The service offers a free tier allowing 100 requests daily, with future plans to integrate with services like Notion.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
