Why you should offer API data plans in advance of the RETS sunset date announcement

 

  • Current RETS feeds can remain active.
  • Become compliant with RESO MLS transition to Web API.
  • Proactive in providing additional time for developers new to APIs to transition (can take 2-6 months to set up on their end).
  • Providing data plans sooner than later allows developers to transition more leisurely instead of creating a bottleneck that may be tough to recover from if/when a NAR mandate is passed.
    • Creating a better experience for all involved—especially your members!
  • The API is more resilient to field changes that cost developers (and your members) time and money to patch. 
  • More time to become familiar with features within Datamart.
  • Automated tracking of all data plans requests.
  • Paperless process.
