Is it possible to use the plotly library to create charts in python without having an online plotly account? I think the code is opensource https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py. I would like to know whether we can use this without an online account.

Yes, it can be done. The only purpose of having a plotly account is to host the graphs in your plotly account.

Plotly Offline allows you to create graphs offline and save them locally. Instead of saving the graphs to a server, your data and graphs will remain in your local system.
