QuickChart turns a chart definition in the URL into a chart image, using Chart.js syntax: bar, line, pie, doughnut, radar and many more types, as PNG, SVG or PDF. That makes it easy to put charts in e-mails, Slack messages, PDFs and anywhere else where JavaScript does not run. It also creates QR codes, and can serve as a drop-in replacement for the retired Google Image Charts. Free plan with a monthly limit; paid plans for more charts. Open source, so you can also host it yourself.

Example request:

```sh
curl 'https://quickchart.io/chart?c=%7Btype%3A%27bar%27%2Cdata%3A%7Blabels%3A%5B%27A%27%2C%27B%27%5D%2Cdatasets%3A%5B%7Bdata%3A%5B1%2C2%5D%7D%5D%7D%7D'
```

The JavaScript works in a web page as well as in Node.js 18 or newer.
