Do you provide data in Canada?

Overview


Yes! Repliers covers almost all MLS® Systems in Canada. Whether you're building for a single market or looking for broader coverage, we have options to support your use case.


This article explains the two main paths to accessing Canadian real estate data through Repliers — regional MLS® access and the REALTOR.ca DDF® national feed — and outlines the compliance requirements you'll need to meet before getting started.



Getting Started


Once you've confirmed your use case is compliant, here's how to get connected:


  1. Create a free account — Sign up if you haven't already. You'll get sandbox access to explore the API right away.


  1. Upgrade to production — Submit your licensing details: your agent's information, brokerage, and a description of your intended use. This is required for all Canadian MLS® feeds.


  1. Our onboarding team takes it from there — We'll address your MLS® licensing application process and get you connected to the boards you need.


💡 Tip: If you're unsure which boards or plan add-ons you need, mention your target markets when you submit your upgrade request and our team will guide you.



Two Ways to Access Canadian MLS® Data


1. Regional MLS® Systems (Deep, Complete Data)


Most Canadian markets are available through their respective regional MLS® System. This gives you access to the richest, most complete listing data available for that market — including active, sold, and historical listings, full property details, agent/member information, and more.


Examples of regional boards accessible through Repliers include:


  • TRREB / PropTx – Greater Toronto Area
  • REBGV / Greater Vancouver REALTORS® – Metro Vancouver
  • CREB / Pillar9 – Calgary and surrounding areas
  • RAE – Edmonton and area
  • And many more across Canada



2. REALTOR.ca DDF® (National Feed)


The REALTOR.ca Data Distribution Facility (DDF®) is a national listing feed managed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). It aggregates active listings from participating MLS® Systems across most of Canada.


DDF® is a good fit if you need broad national coverage from a single feed. However, there are some important limitations to keep in mind:


  • Active listings only — sold and historical data is not available through DDF®
  • Participation is voluntary — not every board or brokerage opts in, so some listings may be absent
  • Data depth varies — regional feeds typically offer richer, more granular data than DDF®
  • Quebec is not covered — Quebec real estate operates under a separate system (Centris®)

Before You Get Started: Compliance Requirements


Access to Canadian MLS® data — whether regional or through DDF® — is not open to everyone. MLS® Systems are member organizations with strict data licensing rules. You must have a compliant use case before Repliers can connect you to any feed.


Who Qualifies?


MLS® data access is available to:


Real Estate Professionals

  • Licensed real estate agents and brokers


Developers, Agencies, or Vendors Working on Behalf of Real Estate Professionals

  • Technology companies or agencies hired specifically to build tools and products for real estate professionals


⚠️ Important: Having a real estate agent as a business partner, employee, or client does not automatically qualify your company for MLS® data access.

The product or service you are building must be directly in service of that agent's licensed real estate business.

Additional Requirements for Vendors and Developers


If you are a developer, agency, or technology vendor, looking to build a tool that will be sold to multiple realtors, you must obtain your own vendor license from the relevant MLS®.

You will still be able to get the tech stack from Repliers through our partnership program.
