Getting started? Where do I get a Username & Password? #3

I'm just trying to query real estate data, and I noticed in your examples folder there was a login-search.js file. How do I run this example. I see no npm start in your package json and I tried also node index.js & node login-search.js?

Also where do I get the correct password and username? https://www.corelogic.com/solutions/multiple-listing-technology.aspx ?

Thank you very much for this.

Hey there, rets.js is a library, so there’s no way to “run” it directly. The examples are the closest thing - and really illustrate how you’d implement your own application with rets.js.

To get credentials you’ll need a RETS data sharing agreement with each MLS you’re working with. To get one, you’ll need to work with a broker, who is a member of the MLS. Typically these agreements are signed by you, the broker and the MLS.

Hey thanks a lot for the reply! I am working with a broker who is a member of the MLS. Where do we go to get these credentials? Neither one of us knows. Is it here? https://www.reso.org/

And then, can I just pass them along as a bearer token to an API endpoint or something like that?

He currently can login to this site http://www.mlspin.com/ and view listings only available to brokers, but we are just looking to do some really basic search results type of functionality.

I'm looking into MLSPIN right now; they are your MLS. What I'm looking for is information about RETS data (vs IDX)... Standby...

You may need to contact them directly to ask about RETS connection information. However; my records (from 2011) show a connection URL for RETS at:

https://bridge-rets.mlspin.com:12109/rets/login

This information is likely to be outdated - but MLSPIN should be able to provide you the answers you're looking for. The key is to let them know you're a broker and need a RETS (not IDX) connection.

@Tzikas

Hi, I am a developer and real estate agent and I just started a project where I need to pull in MLSPIN data. Did you find a solution? I tried the link @dermidgen gave but it didn't accept my credentials.

Thank you to both! Gary Medina
