Build your own Analytics dashboard

In this example, we are going to see how to use the GraphQL Analytics API to build your own dashboard. This tutorial walks you through building a simple line chart for your Cloudflare zone using HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, and chart.js.

GraphQL recipe

The following code will build a page with all the requirements to fetch from GraphQL and plot the cached and uncached bandwidth for the given zone. You will just need to enter your email address, API token, and your zone ID, and then click the Fetch analytics button. To download an example of a CSS file, you can click here .
