Google Chart Tools / Image Charts (aka Chart API)

How Do I Start?

  1. Read the Getting Started page.
  2. Look at some charts in the gallery.
  3. Try making your own chart on our chart wizard.

 

Prerequisites

To use this API, you should have a little HTML experience; a little patience to read the documentation; and a little persistence to keep trying if your first charts don't look as you expect them to.

 

A Note to Previous Chart API Users

We've completely reorganized the documentation and included some exciting new pages, including a live chart design tool and a chart gallery. We have also made some terminology changes in the documentation. See the release notes for full details.

We hope that you like the new look.

What is the Google Chart API?

The Google Chart API lets you dynamically generate charts with a URL string. You can embed these charts on your web page, or download the image for local or offline use.

What Kind of Charts Can I Make?

You can make a lot of things with the Google Chart API:

Some things that look like charts...

 

And some that don't...
