REcolorado Data Feeds through MLS Grid
REcolorado data feeds are available through MLS Grid. If you currently receive a data feed from REcolorado through RETS or Trestle, you will need to transition to the MLS Grid API by October 31, 2023. All new data customers may request data access through MLS Grid or contact DataLicensing@REcolorado.com for more information about the data packages available.
Four data packages are available through MLS Grid: Internet Data Exchange (IDX), Back Office, Virtual Office Website (VOW), and Participant Data Access Policy (PDAP). View descriptions of each package below, and click the corresponding link to find instructions on requesting the data package from MLS Grid.
Note: If you would like to access data from a combination of these options, please create a subscription for each option you require.
IDX
Internet Data Exchange, or IDX for short, is a system that allows brokers to display one another’s property listings on their website via an opt-in data feed powered by REcolorado.
Back Office
Back Office feeds integrate MLS data with tools and offerings including CMAs, real estate stats, CRM systems, and transaction management systems. Back Office feeds do not supply data for public display.
VOW
A Virtual Office Website (VOW) is a real estate search site for consumers, who are given login credentials by a brokerage. The search site is powered by data from REcolorado.
PDAP
A Participant Data Access Policy, or PDAP feed, is similar to Office Inventory Content, but contains all historic listings, all statuses, and supplements for a brokerage.
Broker Only Access: Participant will receive their brokerage’s data directly with no outside support.
Broker Data Export: Participant is authorizing a third party to receive their brokerage’s listings.
