image from python to a website
My Python program produces a .png image that I would like to post for viewing on a website. I understand I may be able to only post a link to the image, but actually posting the image is preferable. I'd like to post the image (or link) to a free website, such as Google Site. I think this is going to require an API, but I'm a beginner and I don't know how to to get the key, or how to write the proper code in my program to post the image.

Hi santod2020, thanks for messaging the Community.
Could you clarify how your program links to Dropbox?
Are the images stored on your Dropbox account?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi, Jay. Thanks for your response.
My Python (Ver 3.9) program does not connect to Dropbox yet. An updated line graph is produced every 65 seconds in a loop, and a .png image is saved on the raspberry pi that's running Raspberry Pi OS. The RP is connected to wifi. I'm looking for help getting those images from my rp to some free, personal website to share with the world. Maybe a Google site is the easiest, or Wordpress, or others have suggested getting a link to Google Sheets. ChatGPT told me that Dropbox could help in the sharing 🙂

You are able to store images on Dropbox and you can upload them to the site using a file request, or directly via the Dropbox API.
