What is a Dependency Graph API for Research?
A Dependency Graph API for research labs and academic institutions lets you generate dependency graph images programmatically via HTTP requests. ChartQuery renders publication-ready PNG or SVG output that you can embed in dashboards, emails, reports, or print, without installing any chart library or writing frontend code.
How do I generate a dependency graph for research with an API?
Send a POST request to the ChartQuery diagram endpoint with your data as JSON. The API returns a rendered image directly. You can also use GET requests with URL parameters for simple cases. No API key is required for basic usage, anonymous access is available with 60 requests per hour.

What are common dependency graph use cases in research?
Visualize experiment data and results. Generate sample barcodes for lab tracking. Create diagrams for publication figures. Chart funding allocation and grant usage. ChartQuery handles the rendering so you can focus on your data and business logic.
Can I share and embed diagrams generated by the API?
