Google Chart API  -  April 25, 2008

The Google Chart API is a tool that enables developers to easily create charts dynamically by sending an HTTP request that includes data to the Chart API which returns a PNG image of the chart which is then embedded in a webpage with an image tag it really is that simple.

Many types of chart are supported, all simply by making the request into an image tag you can simply include the chart in a webpage. It was originally developed by Google in-house exclusively for Google products such as Google Finance and Google Analytics, it has now been opened up to developers to incorporate into web pages and report usage.

Here are a few examples of what can be created:
