What application are you working on and what sensors do you have available if I may ask
So I’m currently working on a weather station project, focused on gathering essential data such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall measurements, where I’m using an ESP32 to transmit the collected data.
That's good. Thingspeak is able to collect and visualize those data in real time.
You can also programmatically read your data in CSV or JSON formats using a REST API call and the appropriate API key
You can make your thingspeak channel/data to be visualized by anyone, by setting the data channel public instead of private.
This video will help you in your development also.

Connect to ThingSpeak (ESP32 + Arduino series)
Use the built-in WiFi to send data to ThingSpeak. This could be temperature readings, water levels, lux levels, ...
ThingSpeak is free if you send less than 3 million messages per year. Ideal for DIY projects.
