Open source or freely available software for the RETS 1x platforms.
Clients
Tools without Source Code
- RETS Connector – CoreLogic’s RETS Connector (for the RETS 1x platform) is an easy to use solution for users needing regularly scheduled automated bulk-data downloads, easy access to IDX information for Web sites, or a simple solution to access RETS 1x-based information. RETS Connector is a client application that dramatically simplifies the process of RETS data access and can be used with any RETS 1.5+ compliant server.
Java
- Trulia Java RETS 1x Client – Trulia Java RETS 1x Client is a flexible, maintained, open source java RETS 1x client. It’s designed to make the accurate and timely exchange of data easier for everyone. Trulia Java RETS Client was forked from jRETS and supports all that functionality with the addition of being compliant up to version 1.7.2 of the RETS 1x specifications. It gracefully handles metadata that is not fully RETS 1x compliant, provides the option to download metadata to a file for easy viewing and is more flexible with regards to how the client handles date and time-stamps. It works and is tested against all major technology partners
- libRETS – libRETS is RETS client library written in C++ that allows rapid development of RETS client applications. By saving the developer from dealing with the RETS 1x protocol details, the application writer can concentrate on their application, saving them time and money in the process. (Native bindings for C#/VB.Net, Python, Ruby, Perl, Java, and PHP.)
