Implement Updater for New Region / COAR / Central Oregon #123

Open Battler45 opened 4 years ago

Battler45 commented 4 years ago

George,

We have the data feed for a new region that needs to be integrated -- central Oregon. Please add this region to the sierrainteractive-4 database.

This region is powered by Rappatoni, the same as SIRA and NKAR, and so integration for this region should be similar to those other regions. Here is the information to access the feed:

http://rets172lax.raprets.com:6103/CentralOregon/COAR/Login.aspx

Agent ID = Sierra

Password = B3nd0r

User/Header = Sierra/1.72

I've attached a document they provided which contains some information about the available fields.

This region is more of a priority than converting the MLBOR region, and so if you could put the MLBOR region on hold while you complete this, that would be good.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Ben,

I started the implementation of this importer and I found one significant difference between its RETS datasource and RETS datasources for NKAR and SIRA regions. For NKAR and SIRA regions we have access to the HISTORY resource which we are using to select sub-sets of data with condition by date of records' change. We need to use HISTORY resource because of the Rappatoni doesn't give an opportunity to use date in query. With COAR region we have not an access to the HISTORY resource. If it is unsoluble limitation we will need to use other method of data's requesting - get appropriate dates for all active records (there is about 4500 active listings for all classes) and then select records with using of this date. I think it will be some slower.

Could you please let me know should I implement this new method or we can have an access to HISTORY resource?

We have access to the next property classes. Please review these if my mapping to the property types is correct:

  1. Contains data for Business Opportunity searches. [BUSI] -> BusinessOpportunities

  2. Contains data for Income/Investment searches. [COMM] -> Commercial

  3. ResidentialProperty [FARM] -> Farm

  4. LotsAndLand [LAND] -> Land

  5. ResidentialProperty [MULT] -> MultiFamily

  6. ResidentialProperty [RESI] -> Residential.

Attached are RETS metadata and sample datesheets for all available types.

Thanks

Ben,

Could you please give me some instructions for MLSRegions database's entry for this region (i.e. RegionName, CommonName, Abbreviation etc)?

Thanks

George,

I will check with our contact at COAR tomorrow (Monday) and will let you know if they will give us access to the History resource.
