API REST Guidelines
The API REST Guidelines are design guidelines for RESTful APIs that should be followed by all API developers working in the public sector. They are based on best practices from the private sector and have been adapted for Switzerland.
The aim is to promote the development of electronic interfaces, in particular for the exchange of electronic data and provision of e-government services, by making data and services as easily available as possible via digital channels. This will be useful for the Digital Switzerland strategy, as APIs are essential for digitalisation.
