  • Can I get MLS data, property records, Web API access or credentials from RESO?

    RESO does not provide MLS real estate data, property records or access to the APIs of other organizations.

Data consumers work directly with that organization’s API provider or technical staff to receive credentials and instructions on how to access data.
