[Chartjs]-Plotting jqplot points to a chart.js chart

With a small workaround, it is possible to achieve what you want.

You need to use Chart.js plugins, which let you handle events which occur through all the chart creation (beforeInit, afterUpdate, afterDraw …) and are easy to implement :

Chart.pluginService.register({
    beforeInit: function(chart) {
        // This will be triggered before the chart initalization
    }
});

Now you just need to populate both the labels and the data arrays using plugins :

var fromAPI = [[[1473396905000,1.925],[1473402008000,3.8978],[1473402311000,1.3657]]];

Chart.pluginService.register({
    beforeInit: function(chart) {
        // We store the data -- Making it more readable
        var data = chart.config.data;

        // For each dataset in your array ..
        for (var i = 0; i < fromAPI.length; i++) {

            // For each data in your dataset ..
            for (var j = 0; j < fromAPI[i].length; j++) {

                // Populate the `labels` array with the first element
                data.labels[j] = fromAPI[i][j][0];

                // Populate the `data` array of this specific dataset with the 2nd element
                data.datasets[i].data[j] = fromAPI[i][j][1];
            }
        }
    }
});
