Public API - The basis for a digital ecosystem
The Public API is a central building block for Liechtenstein's digital future. It creates an open interface that connects companies and public institutions, provides digital solutions efficiently and promotes cross-industry collaboration.
A digital ecosystem connects companies and administration, strengthens collaboration and creates innovation in Liechtenstein.
Why a digital ecosystem?

The central data interface
Public API
The Public API is being developed as open, standardized middleware that serves as a central interface for:
Self-Sovereign Data
Users retain control over their own data
Identity and profile data
Secure digital identities for various applications
Open data interface
Easy access to public data
Microservice architecture
Flexible integration into existing systems
The Public API is set up as a public-private partnership (PPP) or non-profit organization. It does not compete with existing market players, but provides a common basic digital infrastructure from which all players benefit.
