Open Data Guide API interfaces
How do programs access data?
APIs (application programming interfaces) are digital interfaces that allow programs to access data directly—without manual download. They are the technical backbone of modern open data platforms.
APIs enable:
- Automatic updates: Applications always retrieve the latest data.
- Targeted queries: Filtering by time period, topic, or geographic area.
- Integration into applications: Developers can integrate city data into their own apps, dashboards, or analysis tools.
The open data platform of the state capital of Wiesbaden provides various API endpoints that enable standardized queries and support modern web technologies.
The guide for this will follow shortly.
