Integrate OABR / Omaha, Nebraska Data Feed #114

Open Battler45 opened 4 years ago

Battler45 commented 4 years ago

George,

We have a new data feed to integrate for Omaha, NB. This should probably go into the sierrainteractive-3 database since it is geographically relatively close to Denver, CO.

I've attached the documentation which the board sent for use in setting up the data fields. For comparison purposes, you can also see the way the data is structured and labeled in some of our competitors' sites: http://www.housesinomaha.com/listing/21202997-17402-island-cir-bennington-ne-68007/ (scroll down to view data through the overlay).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Ben,

I can not connect to specified RETS server. Remote server returned an error 401 (Unathorized). Could you please confirm credentials?

Ben,

We have access to the 7 types of listings:

Could you please confirm my mapping and also specify do we need to import all types or not?

Attached are RETS meta data XML file and also sample files for each listing types.

George,

I believe the mappings are:

Please import list types 1, 4, 5, 8.

Also, in the data you sent, there are a lot of listings with status like Sold, Expired, Leased/Rented, Cancelled, Pending. For now, we only want Active status listings. Please ignore listings with all other statuses.

Also, there is some explanation of data in the attached document provided by the board.

Thanks.

George,

That's a good question. Eventually I do think we will need to include this new field as a separate field in the database. Can you review the metadata for this region and let me know the size of this field -- will it be a field of data type text or will it have a fixed length (such as 256 or 512 characters)?

Ben,

I've checked new RETS meta data and found

  1. New field "Syndication Remarks" is available only for residential type of listings

  2. Max length of this field is 4000.

Ben,

I reviewed document about changes on OABR data feed and found one interesting thing. They have added new field "Syndication Remarks" which is intended to be a public remarks field for all third-party syndication data feeds such as ListHub (broker tool that uploads listings to Zillow, Trulia, etc.). But it is not a replacement for basic Public Remarks. Do we need to use this field? And if yes I think we need new database field to store this value.

Please let me know your thoughts Thanks Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)
