How do I embed a Datawrapper chart in a Substack post?

The Datawrapper-Substack workflow

1. Create your chart in Datawrapper. 2. Click 'Publish'. 3. Copy the embed URL (not the iframe code). 4. Paste the URL on its own line in your Substack draft. Substack auto-detects Datawrapper URLs and renders the chart inline.

What Datawrapper does well

Datawrapper is excellent for general-purpose charts: line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, choropleth maps. Their free tier is generous. The UI is clean and the output is publication-ready.

Where Datawrapper falls short for finance

Datawrapper has no candlestick charts, no volatility surfaces, no yield curve interpolation, no options chain tables, no FedWatch-style probability trees. If you're a finance newsletter writer, these gaps matter.
