The Public Administration API Principles provide common instructions and recommendations for API development and the promotion of digitalisation. The API principles have been developed under the Ministry of Finance's project on opening up and using public data, which implements the objectives related to information policy and the opening and use of public data in the Programme of Prime Minister Marin's Government.
These principles have been divided into three levels: strategic, tactical and operative. Strategic principles apply to the organisation's management. These principles describe how the direction and goals of API development should be defined and how APIs should be taken into account in the development of operations. Tactical principles apply to the developers of information management in the organisation. They guide the management of API development and the organisation's system of APIs. Operative principles apply to those who develop and maintain APIs. They guide the development and maintenance of individual APIs.
