We are excited to announce that clients can now use our API to access the data from any of their RJMetrics charts. This will allow users to more easily integrate RJMetrics data into spreadsheets and other third-party tools. Data can currently be downloaded in CSV, JSON, and Geckoboard formats.

Many clients are already taking advantage of this new feature by displaying their charts in Geckoboard, a live status board that can be used to display important company statistics. Geckoboard offers a Custom Chart Widget which displays JSON-encoded charts. You can incorporate your RJMetrics charts into your Geckoboard dashboard in two ways:

  • Export the data in Geckoboard format, which outputs the chart data in a specialized JSON format that can be directly loaded into Geckoboard using their highcharts widget.
  • Export the data in JSON format. This outputs the chart’s data as a JSON encoded list that you can load into a custom script that formats a Geckoboard chart to your exact specifications.
The result is an RJMetrics-powered chart like the one below available directly on your company’s Geckoboard!
