Re: [visualization-api] Re: Is There any problem on chart api

[Stéphane Busso]

I see this 502 for the first time. It may have happened before when I was 
not online and not using the service, I had some users complaining about 
not seeing the graphs but was never able to trace back to this thread. This 
was set up for more than 12 years, and I honestly haven't looked back. That 
has been a long ride for this API.

 Hi Jon

 https://chart.googleapis.com/chart ~~~ is throwing 502 because of the 
 reasons you mentioned.
 Is https://chart.apis.google.com/chart? ~~~ also part of [ Google 
 Image Charts API] for shutting down? Or this is the one with which we need 
 to replace with?

 I don't find any information for QR code generation on actively 
 maintained Charts help - https://developers.google.com/chart
 Can you please guide me for an alternate service? 

 Appreciate your help on this.

Re: [visualization-api] Re: Is There any problem on chart api

[Marcel Woodard]

We did implement an internal solution, that resulted a heavy lift on our 
servers.  I understand there are better external solutions that we can 
implement as well, which we are currently exploring.

That said, if we can get an additional one or two week window, that would 
be appreciated.

This service was deprecated 12 years ago; you can check the archives of
this group for suggestions about alternate services.

Re: [visualization-api] Re: Is There any problem on chart api

['Jon Orwant' via Google Visualization API]

This service was deprecated 12 years ago. When I started the rolling
blackouts, I did my level best to accommodate the last holdouts, delaying
for months. I don't mean to be rude, but why didn't you implement your
solution the past four times this came up?

Jon - Any chance you can turn back on for another week?  We are currently 
working on a solution, but need the charts operating in our weekly emails 
for over 1 million customers.

 Ultimately the only effective mechanism we had was to turn the
