GeoDirectory MLS Import

Your MLS listings, kept in sync

If you run a property directory, your listings already live in your MLS. Typing them in again takes ages, and they’re out of date the moment a price changes. GeoDirectory MLS Import connects your site to your MLS through the RESO Web API, brings in the listings you pick, and keeps them up to date on a schedule you set.

It’s free on WordPress.org.

How it works

• Connect your feed. – Enter the API credentials your MLS or IDX vendor gave you. Presets are included for Trestle, Bridge Data Output, Spark Platform and Navica.
• Pick your listings. – Choose a dataset, then narrow it down to the listings you actually want on your site.
• Map the fields. – RESO fields are matched to your GeoDirectory custom fields for you. Change any of them if your setup is different.
• Preview first. – See what would be imported, updated or skipped before anything on your site changes.
• Let it run. – Imports run in the background, so big datasets don’t time out. After that it re-runs hourly, daily, weekly or monthly and only touches listings that changed.

Only import what you need

Filters are sent to your provider as part of the query, so you aren’t downloading thousands of listings just to throw most of them away. Filter by:

• Listing status, property type and subtype
• State, city, street address and postal code
• Listing agent and office (include or exclude)
• Price range
• A maximum number of listings, or one listing by its ID
• Any custom OData filter your feed supports

An agent’s site can show just their own listings, and a local property portal can stick to the towns it covers.

Made for big feeds

• Pause, resume or stop. – Stop a run whenever you like. If one gets interrupted, it carries on from where it left off.
• Photos your way. – Download listing photos to your media library, or load them straight from the MLS image URLs to save disk space.
• Tidy up old listings. – Optionally send listings to the trash once they drop out of the feed.
• A full log. – Every listing processed, skipped or failed is logged, so you can always see what happened.

What it won’t do

GeoDirectory MLS Import doesn’t include, resell or give access to MLS data. You need your own agreement with your MLS or IDX vendor, and the RESO Web API credentials that come with it.

It manages one import: one saved set of dataset, filters, field mapping and schedule. You can change any part of it whenever you like.

Paragon, Rapattoni and other RESO Web API providers work too, but their endpoints have to be added by a developer. If your MLS isn’t listed, get in touch with our support team.

Minimum requirements:

• GeoDirectory 2.3 or greater
• RESO Web API credentials from your MLS or IDX vendor
