Sign into your accountRESO Offers Free Web API Tools for Connecting to MLSs
March 28 2017
It's truly a RESO first. We just released Web API client tools – created by RESO -- to help software developers more rapidly deploy real estate software specifically for connecting to the hundreds of MLSs nationwide that have implemented RESO API Standards. This free software package includes the Web API client application itself, as well as the source code for the open source client software.
We're excited about our first in-house creation of client software tools for a few of reasons. In the in the past, we relied on outside technology firms to develop client software for accessing real estate data based on RESO Standards. With our in-house developed software capability, we are adding significantly to the value of a RESO membership, while benefiting the real estate industry as a whole.
We did so in response to what many RESO members have told us they need in order to develop and deploy real estate software that is dependent on real-time property data, because that benefit all players in the industry – from technologists to real estate professionals to consumers.
About the new RESO Web API Tools
What's also exciting is what this means: this desktop client application is written with reusable code libraries using .NET C# that allows rapid development of API client applications connecting to data sources leveraging RESO standards.
Developers will be pleased to know that there are multiple packages available, each including the full source code and the standalone Reference Client that implements the code libraries. The different standalone code libraries can be used for rapid development in a custom application. The new offering from RESO is designed to save a software developer from dealing with the RESO Web API Specification and underlying OData, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect protocol details.
