Hello,

I have been observing this issue for quite some time now. My dynamic charts on a custom web page are updated automatically only when I am logged into my ThingSpeak account.

The data I am displaying with the chart are from a private channel, but I am supplying the Read-API key in the http request:

https://www.thingspeak.com/channels/1111/charts/1?key=12345678&width=800&height=260&days=1;dynamic=true

Am I doing anything wrong or is this an issue with the API?

Thanks

Can someone confirm this problem or am I the only one seeing this issue?
It should be easily reproducible with data from any private channel.

Hi,

You may have a slight syntax error in your URL, try using https://www.thingspeak.com/channels/1111/charts/1?key=12345678&width=800&height=260&days=1&dynamic=true (using the proper key). I changed ";dynamic=true" to "&dynamic=true".

Hi Lee, thanks for your reply.
My implementation is correct, I just pasted the code incorrectly.

I just retried. As long as I am not logged into my ThingSpeak account, the chart does not update on the web page I created. As soon as I log in, the charts starts to update automatically, without reloading/refreshing the page where the chart is displayed. Can't you reproduce this issue?

Hi Malden,

Yes I was able to reproduce this issue, and it should be fixed now. There were some missing parameters (including the API key) when the dynamic JavaScript callback was being executed. Sorry about that!
