I want to be able to generate a Google Charts images and this will done by cron job.

To start with, I understand that Google Charts is a client-side library that runs in browsers, so you can only generate charts in the browser. And also, I'm using a PHP Framework.

Here's where I am right now:

Firstly, I finished creating the PDF. Using MPDF, I was able to successfully make a daily report in PDF format via cron.
Secondly, I already have generated server-side Google charts as images via the browser, and save those images to a folder. I was able to insert the image of the graph I wanted to add. https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/printing

But what I want is the cron job to generated the chart image. Setting the CRON, I'd like to generate an image of the certain Google Chart.

This is the closest topic I can find that is related to my question, but this thread didn't have an answer: Using Google Charts API Generated Graphic in FPDF
