I’m currently building a enterprise MLS / IDX system and I’m just wondering if there is any type of special considerations to be taken outside of outputting the data in the forms that external web services want to use/consume etc.
I’m wondering if I need to register the system or have it approved by anything? Right now planned integration will integrate with a number of system. These systems ask for a MLS number often.
Right now we have a Listing ID in our system as well as a UID for our records. Is there some sort of global listing ID service or does my specific MLS software system supply our listing ID’s and UID’s for these data requirements?
If you would like to know more about MLS or IDX I’ve included a couple links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Data_Exchange
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_listing_service
My main concern is integrating with these external services and ensuring the data we are providing is accurate to the MLS / IDX ecosystem.
