What is the API Gateway?

The Luxembourg government's API Gateway enables private-sector applications to interface with government IT platforms. Through machine-to-machine connections, applications can exchange data automatically. The data exchange complies with the data protection regulations in force, and meets the government's security standards. 

For example, administrative bodies can propose APIs within the framework of an administrative procedure as an automated alternative to submitting data through MyGuichet.lu.

Registering on the API Gateway Portal

Access to and use of APIs are managed through a self-service portal linked to the government API Gateway, called the 'API Gateway Portal', which is administered by the Government IT Centre (CTIE). Before being able to access the API Gateway and request access to the APIs, all economic operators must provide proof of their identity by registering with the CTIE.

You only need to apply for registration with the CTIE once. Once you are registered as an economic operator, you can request access to the APIs directly from the administrations that provide them.

Access to government APIs

Further information on widely available APIs – access conditions, contact details of the relevant administration and, where applicable, application procedures – is available on this website maintained by the CTIE.

For other APIs whose use is more restricted, information on availability and application procedures is provided directly by the relevant government administration.
