Frequently Asked Questions
What is a REST API?
A REST API is a web service that enables developers to manipulate server-stored resources using standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. This stateless, flexible architecture is lightweight and integrates easily with web applications.
How do I authenticate requests to the MLS® IDX API?
Use HTTP Basic authentication with the username and password we provide to you. Configure your RETS client (PHRETS or similar) to use Authentication Method: basic. After a successful Login, your client should also keep and resend the session cookie issued by the gateway automatically.
Can I make batch requests with the MLS® IDX API?
No. The API is designed for one login and one request at a time per user account. Please avoid running multiple requests in parallel or opening multiple logins. If you need lots of data, page through results sequentially (e.g., with Limit/Offset) and keep a brief pause between pages. Concurrent requests may be throttled or rejected.
What data formats does the MLS® IDX API support?
Searches and metadata are available in COMPACT, COMPACT-DECODED, and STANDARD-XML. Media is delivered through GetObject as standard RETS multipart/binary (e.g., JPEG images).
How do I handle errors returned by the API?
When an error occurs, the API returns a status code and a message detailing the nature of the error. Common error codes include 400 for bad requests, 401 for unauthorized access, and 404 for not found resources. It’s important to implement error handling in your application to appropriately respond to these issues based on the error code and message received.
Is there a limit to the number of API calls I can make?
Yes, to ensure fair usage and optimal performance for all users, our API has a rate limit. The specific limit depends on the subscription plan you choose. If you exceed this limit, you will receive a 429 ‘Too Many Requests’ error. Consider optimizing your API calls.
