Access To Multiple MLSes Using A Single API Key & Deduplication

Unified Access to Multiple MLSes

Using Repliers, you can access multiple MLSes (Multiple Listing Services) through a single API key, streamlining the process for brokerages licensed in multiple regions. This integrated approach allows for the creation of a seamless search experience, enabling users to explore listings across different cities without your application needing to manage multiple API keys for different regions.

Deduplication and Priority Features

Additionally, we offer a deduplication feature to enhance user experience. It's common for the same property listing to appear on multiple MLSes. Our deduplication feature ensures that users see each listing only once, preventing repetition and clutter in search results. Moreover, your API key can be configured to prioritize certain MLSes over others. In the event of a duplicate listing, you can decide which MLS will serve as the default source for listing information.

Considerations for Multi-MLS API Key Usage

It's important to note that the same MLS number might be assigned to listings in different MLSes. Consequently, when your API key has access to multiple MLSes, you will need to specify a boardId for certain requests to identify the source MLS accurately. This consideration is crucial especially when expanding the access of an API key that was initially configured for a single MLS, as it could introduce significant changes to how your system interacts with the Repliers service. For API keys restricted to a single MLS, the boardId is implicitly determined.
