API Status (cross-border guide)

API Status — free tools and expert guides for cross-border workers (frontalieri) between Switzerland and Italy. Compare salaries, tax, LAMal health insurance, pensions, and cost of living in Ticino. Updated 2026.

This page shows the real-time operational status of all external services used by the Frontaliere Ticino platform: CHF/EUR exchange rate (TwelveData API), border crossing traffic (Google Maps API), reCAPTCHA for form protection, and Firebase for storage and configurations.

The platform is designed to work even when one or more external services are temporarily unavailable: exchange rates have a local cache with fallback to the most recent data, border traffic uses estimates based on historical data, and calculators run entirely in the browser without depending on remote servers.

The history of outages and average availability of each service are visible on this page, along with average API latency and data update frequency.

This page is part of Frontaliere Ticino, the reference platform for cross-border workers between Switzerland (Canton Ticino) and Italy. Find practical tools, updated data, and verified information.

Content is designed to help cross-border workers make informed decisions about taxation, pensions, transportation, cost of living, and administrative procedures.

All tools and data are updated for the 2026 fiscal year, reflecting the New Bilateral Tax Agreement between Switzerland and Italy, current AVS/LPP contribution rates, and Canton Ticino withholding tax tables.

The platform covers the complete cross-border worker lifecycle: from obtaining your G or B permit and opening a Swiss bank account, to filing your annual tax returns in both countries, planning your AVS and LPP pension, and comparing the cost of living on both sides of the border.
