Retrieve chart settings from template?

Hey all,

A while ago I generated a chart template and have been using the resulting URL. Now I would like to create a new chart with the same settings, formatting and size, but I don’t remember what I used, and would prefer not to resort to trial and error.

Is there any way to retrieve the original settings from the template URL? Thanks!

Hi Mike,

The most straightforward way to recover the underlying chart config is to add ?format=raw to the chart template URL. This will reveal the template object, which includes a “chart” key that contains the chart config (here’s an example).

If your chart was created with the chart maker, you can also go to: https://quickchart.io/chart-maker/edit/<your chart id>. This should recover pretty much everything for you to edit in the chart maker (here is the above chart in the chart maker)
