MLS® Data Feed URL Requirements

When applying for MLS® data feed access, you'll often be required to specify the URL where the listing data will be displayed. This is a critical requirement that must be met before your application can be approved.


URL Requirements


Must Be Specified and Accessible


  • Provide the exact URL where listing data will be published
  • The website must be live and reachable when submitted
  • Broken links or inaccessible URLs will result in application delays or rejections


Agent-Branded Requirements


For Individual Agent Websites:


  • Agent's full name and designation must be prominently displayed, for example: John Doe, Sales Representative
  • Brokerage name and information
  • All information should be easily visible to visitors


For Brokerage Websites:


  • Brokerage name and information must be prominently displayed
  • Individual agent names are not required


Under Construction Websites


If your website is still being developed, you can still apply with these guidelines:


  • A simple "Under Construction" page is acceptable
  • Must still include required branding information:
    • Agent name and designation (for agent sites)
    • Brokerage name and contact info


Common Mistakes to Avoid


  • Placeholder URLs: Don't use example.com or temporary URLs
  • Generic Landing Pages: Avoid pages that don't clearly identify the agent or brokerage
  • Broken Links: Test your URL before submitting your application
