# Stock Chart Image API: Candlestick & OHLC Charts as Images - Imejis.io

Stock Chart Image API

# Stock & candlestick charts as images

Render candlestick (OHLC), line, and combo charts as PNG or SVG from a single endpoint. Drop live price charts into alerts, trading digests, and bots that can't run JavaScript.

## Built for financial data

Candlestick is a first-class component. Pair it with metric tiles, tables, and line charts to render full market cards. These are live previews.

## From data to image in one call

1

### Design a chart template

Style a candlestick or line chart in the editor once: colors, axes, branding. Then mark the OHLC series dynamic.

2

### Send your price data

POST your OHLC/series data as field overrides on each request. No config JSON to hand-write, no webhook to wait on.

3

### Get a chart image back

The response is a finished image with a permanent URL, ready for an email, a Telegram/Discord bot, or a Slack alert.

## What people render

### Price & threshold alerts

Attach a candlestick snapshot to a price alert so the recipient sees the move, not just a number.

### Crypto market recaps

Daily BTC/ETH or altcoin charts for a newsletter, Discord, or Telegram channel, as an image everyone can see.

### Trading & signal bots

Bots live in chat apps that strip scripts and canvas. An image URL renders the chart everywhere.

### Market digests

A morning email with the indices, top movers, and a chart per ticker, generated from your feed.

### Portfolio & position cards

Combine a candlestick with metric tiles and a positions table into one shareable portfolio card.

### Automated reporting

Wire it to your market data source and generate a chart image per symbol, per run. Hands-off.

## Why not roll your own?

### Headless-browser screenshots

Run Chromium + a charting lib, install fonts, fight cold starts just to screenshot a candlestick.

One sync endpoint. Send OHLC data, get an image. Nothing to host.

### Config-driven chart APIs

Hand-write chart JSON and accept generic defaults that look like everyone else's.

A visual editor and on-brand templates, then the same chart on tap via API.

### Client-side charting libraries

Great in a browser. Useless in an email, a bot message, or a PDF where JS never runs.

A static image URL works in every one of those places.

## Stock Chart Image API FAQs

### What is a stock chart image API?

It renders a stock or financial chart as a static image (PNG or SVG) from price data you send over HTTP, so the chart can live where JavaScript can't run: an email, a bot message, a PDF, or an OG tag.

### Do you support candlestick and OHLC charts?

Yes. Candlestick (OHLC) is a first-class component, alongside line, area, and combo charts, so you can render price and market-recap graphics from a single API call.

### Can I use it for crypto charts?

Yes. The data is just OHLC/series values, so it works for any market: equities, forex, or crypto. Send your data and get a branded chart image back.

### Is the chart real-time?

The API renders fresh on every request from the data you send, so it's as current as your data feed. There's no caching you don't control and no polling.

### Is there a free tier?

Yes. 100 renders per month, permanently, with no watermark. Paid plans start at $14.99/mo for 1,000 renders and scale to a $0.70 effective cost per 1,000 on the Unlimited plan.

## Render your first candlestick in minutes

Start on the free tier. 100 renders a month, no watermark, no card.
