Good Tool to design Graphs & Charts via API?

Hey!
I am planning to build a tool to visualize a user's data.
Data should be visualized somewhat like a stock chart.

Do you know any tool that could be useful for this? :)

Thanks!

    There are so many alternatives out there, depending on your usecase.
    Are you building a webapp? There are a lot of very easy to use but powerful charting-libraries. Highcharts is very popular for rendering charts in the browser.
    If you prefer rendering on the serverside: matplotlib for python is really cool.
    And finally if you need a standalone BI-Tool to visualize data: Tableau is very popular these days.
    There are probably thousands of other tools out there, but these are the first that came to my mind

    Hey, if you prefer using REST API then try imgchart.net its simple to use and provide plenty customisation.

    If you build a webapp you can use chartjs or any other similar library based on js.
    I can also suggest charttt.com that generates image based charts that you can embed anywhere.
    It is currently in beta so if you wish to join let me know.

    If you're looking for more of a no-code solution there is also Image Charts which you can create by generating a URL. They have a branded solution that's free.
