Q: Programmatically create and export charts via API?
Hello, your app looks very cool. My use-case is to create dynamic reports for my clients.
Id love to be able to trigger the creation of a chart with google sheet or JSON data and then request the resulting chart as a public image to access.
I want to create and retrieve a chart via an API call (or possibly by dynamic URL query).
parameters.
Side Note: Zapier is the popular choice, but many people who use appsumo have a bit more of a technical skillset and would possible make use of an agnostic API rather than a zapier integration. Or they would possible use appsumo automation platforms like 'active pieces'.
Personally I use "n8n".
Is this currently possible, or do you see it being a feature within the next month or two?
Thanks so much for your help!

Mar 21, 2025A: Hello!
First thanks for checking out InstaCharts!
I have good news. Our Zapier integration is just a UI wrapper around our chart templates API.
The chart templates API allows you to create chart images, interactive charts and embedded charts on the fly. Read more about them here: https://instacharts.io/docs/guides/generate-charts-using-templates/
You can use chart templates to create any type of chart (line, bar, pie) with any kind of data that you specify. You can change any kind of chart setting you'd like. Here is a list of chart settings you can change in chart templates: https://instacharts.io/docs/automation/chart-templates/
The chart templates API was written for the more technically minded users - I hope you find it useful!
Let me know if you have any more questions or if I can help in any way.
