How to Embed Interactive Charts With Live Data (Step-by-Step)

We’ve released embeddable interactive charts on Lychee, making it possible to embed live charts directly into your website, blog, or documentation with just a single snippet.

Instead of exporting static images, you can now embed interactive charts that stay live, dynamic, and fully explorable.

This is useful if you want to:

• embed interactive charts in your website or blog post
• share live data visualizations that update automatically
• replace static images with dynamic, real-time charts
• build dashboards with embeddable charts

Why Embed Interactive Charts Instead of Static Images

Most charts on the web are static screenshots. That creates a few problems:

• readers can’t inspect exact values
• data becomes outdated instantly
• charts lose context when shared

With Lychee embeds, your charts stay:

• interactive (hover tooltips, zoom, pan)
• live (updates from the original dataset)
• reusable (one chart, many embeds)

This turns every chart into a live data experience instead of a static image.

That’s it — your chart is now an interactive embeddable chart with live data.

Share URL vs Embed (When to Use Each)

🔗 Raw URL (Best for social sharing)

Example: https://lycheedata.com/<handle>/charts/<slug>

Use this for:

• Twitter / X
• LinkedIn
• Slack
• Discord

It generates a preview card with your chart image.

📊 Embed (Best for websites & blogs)

Use iframe embeds when you want:

• interactive charts inside blog posts
• live dashboards
• data-rich landing pages
• documentation pages

This is the best way to embed dynamic charts in a blog post or website.

What You Can Build With Embeddable Charts

With this feature, you can now:

• build live analytics dashboards
• publish interactive data visualizations
• embed real-time market charts
• create shareable research pages
