JSON feed: JSON feeds offer real-time server-to-browser communication. JSON is short for JavaScript Object Notation, and is a way to store information in an organized, easy-to-access manner. Connecting a JSON feed URL to Infogram is a snap.

Infogram API: Infogram’s API lets you programmatically create, update, and publish visualizations like charts, maps, and infographics with ease. It offers control over project libraries, publishing, and exports, saving you valuable time and effort.

Simple Reminder: Live data updates function when your infographic is published (web view or embed). Data refreshes upon loading and at your specified intervals (minimum 30 seconds).
