API Content Format

Charts are typically Static because their data structure is complex. However, you can make chart data dynamic:

{
  "content": {
    "sales_chart": {
      "data": [
        { "name": "Q1", "revenue": 10000 },
        { "name": "Q2", "revenue": 15000 },
        { "name": "Q3", "revenue": 12000 },
        { "name": "Q4", "revenue": 18000 }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

  • Start with Static charts — Configure data in the editor first

  • Keep data series manageable — 2-4 series for readability
  • Consider chart size — Ensure enough space for labels and legends
  • Test with real data — Verify formatting with actual values
