Oh. I assumed this was open source and you host it on your own server. Yes, not a good idea to use a free hosted product provided by a company where you're using the service anonymously over the Internet. It's funny that you mention Google. Google used to offer a web-based chart API a lot like this one. Well, it looks like they're technically still offering it as Image Charts [1] but it is deprecated. I think it used to be called just Google Charts, but that brand was repurposed to a client-side JavaScript library. I'd say it's virtually certain that they pull the plug on it at some point, given Alphabet and the whole "era of fiscal responsibility". I've actually written a clone of Google Chart API for private use. It relies on ChartDirector though which isn't free; it's basically a URL skin over that product. If this would be useful open source to anyone I could see if my company is willing to agree to release it. However I had sort of assumed that web-based charting APIs were dead by this point in favor of client-side ones. Edit: Is this a paid API? StatHat looks like something that's a paid service but I can't tell if the feature in the article is paid.
