 Google Charts API is now public, so I took a few minutes to experiment today: Placement Stats Pie Graph for Bungie.net (Halo 3 stats).

So whats the deal with Google Charts?  Basically you create a crazy URL to Google, and they send you back a nicely rendered chart to use anywhere you like – dynamically generated.  Using Greasemonkey I scrape the Bungie stats page to generate chart information, and then inject the resulting image back into the page.

Pretty cool – code linked here.
