Suwon City and Collaborative Agencies - Information Now Viewable at a Glance

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] A service system has been established allowing citizens to view information provided by Suwon City and its collaborative agencies in one place.

The Open API (Application Programming Interface) service that the city is launching starting on the 28th is a 'public information provision service for citizens'.

Previously, to check news from collaborative agencies, citizens had to access each agency's website individually.

Starting the 28th, citizens can view information from three collaborative agencies—including new announcements, recruitment information, and event plans—on the 'Jeongbotongton' bulletin board on the Suwon City website (https://www.suwon.go.kr).

In the first phase, information from three collaborative agencies—Suwon Urban Development Corporation, Suwon Cultural Foundation, and Suwon Convention Center—will be linked through 'Open API'.

Next year, the linkage is planned to expand to six additional collaborative agencies including Suwon Urban Research Institute, Suwon Scholarship Foundation, Suwon International Exchange Center, Suwon Youth Foundation, Suwon Sustainable City Foundation, and Suwon FC.

Beyond simple information, the service will expand to allow users to apply for educational and experiential programs, as well as venue reservations and rentals through 'Open API'.

A city official stated, "Citizens will be able to easily find diverse policies and projects of the city and collaborative agencies through 'Open API'," and added, "More citizens will be able to participate in events and programs offered by collaborative agencies." The official further noted, "We will continue to make efforts to improve the quality of data provided through Open API."
