Pixela

API

API for tracking habits and daily effort with pixel-based visualization

Overview

Pixela is a RESTful API that enables users to track habits, daily effort, and routines via pixel-based visualizations. Key endpoints include user creation (POST /v1/users), graph setup (POST /v1/users/{username}/graphs), pixel logging (POST /v1/users/{username}/graphs/{graphID}), and data updates/deletions. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include building habit-tracking apps, integrating daily progress logs into dashboards, automating routine tracking for productivity tools, and visualizing long-term effort trends. It supports custom graph configurations like color, unit, and type to tailor tracking to specific needs.
