Understanding Test API Keys
When you create a Repliers account, you receive a test API key that allows you to explore and experiment with our APIs. This article explains what you can do with a test API key and its limitations.
Make API requests to test endpoints
Use interactive developer playgrounds
Build and test prototype applications
Evaluate Repliers' API functionality
Learn API integration patterns
The test API key provides access to simulated data with the following restrictions:
Listing data is scrambled and not representative of real MLS listings
Property photos are identical across all listings
No access to real-time MLS data
To work with real MLS listings, your account needs proper authorization from the relevant Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The authorization process:
Varies by MLS organization
Requires compliance with specific licensing requirements
Must be completed before accessing live listing data
The test API key is ideal for:
Initial development and integration
Solution architecture planning
Proof-of-concept development
API familiarization
Basic functionality testing
For access to real MLS data and production use, please contact our support team to begin the authorization process. Prior to doing so, we'd recommend our MLS data licensing guidelines.
