Overview
Pixela is a fun and lightweight API for tracking habits, daily efforts, and personal goals using pixel-style activity graphs similar to GitHub contribution charts. You can record any numeric value (like pages read, minutes exercised, or commits made) and visualize it as a colorful graph. It requires no complex setup — just a username and token and you are ready to go.
Beginner Tip
Your user token is set by you when creating your account via the API — it is not auto-generated. Choose a strong token since it is used as your authentication credential for all subsequent operations.
