Firstly, hello to everyone at the data-driven journalism conference in the Netherlands today! We’ve been working on a few new things for Timetric, and one of them’s ready to go: we hope a lot of people, including journalists — and you! — find it useful.
Get up-to-date graphs and data on your website in five minutes. Or your money back. *
1. Find a subject you’re interested in.
Timetric has over a million statistics from sources including the World Bank, the European Union’s Eurostat, the European Central Bank, the St. Louis Fed, the UK’s Office of National Statistics, Amazon, and many others. We have quite a bit of data: around 1.1 million indicators at time of writing…
Start by;
- picking a subject you’re interested in from our list of topics
- looking at the data we’ve got from one of our sources, or
- doing a search from our front page.
2. Pick the data you’re interested and add it to the graph.
Filtering through the dataset is really easy: just search, then tick any data you want to see in the graph. Want to take it out again? Untick it.
3. Tweak the graph and grab the embed code.
Right now, you can change the size of the graph or the line thickness. (We’re adding more options here soon). Once you’ve finished tweaking, grab the embed code and paste it into your site or blog, just like you would with a Youtube movie.
4. Not done yet? Let us help.
Email us at help@timetric.com, catch us on Twitter, or leave a comment! We’d be glad to help you out.
(*) timetric.com is free to use. Find us and we’ll buy you a drink, though.
Just the sort of thing we have been looking for. We will be using.
