IDX FAQ for Vendors

How do I become an IDX vendor?

In order to be considered as an IDX vendor the required Database Access License Agreement will need to be completed through Bridge Interactive, the platform used for Web API data access. For an invite to the Bridge platform, please reach out to our data delivery team.

You are required to have at least one IRES MLS subscribing broker requesting the data feed.  Once the agreement is received it will be reviewed by leadership for approval.  If approved, you will be billed and once the payment is received, you will receive access to the data via Bridge Web API.

Please contact IRES for details, the fee structure, and a Bridge platform invite.

What is the fee to become a vendor?

There is a $225 initiation fee and $60 per quarter for the data feed. Each additional URL is $60 per quarter as well.  Other fee structures are available for sub-domains.  Please contact us for more details on sub-domain fee structures.

Can you bill the agent instead of the vendor?

The data feed must be set up through the third party vendor/web developer and for that reason the billing is required to go directly to the vendor.  Unfortunately, we are unable to bill a broker instead of a vendor.

Is IDX the only type of feed you offer?

While IDX is our most popular download, we also offer Back Office, VOW (Virtual Office Website) and AVM (Automated Valuation Model) feeds.  Contact us for more information and to discuss your specific request!

What type of download do you use for your feeds?

We offer Web API through Bridge Interactive as our RESO Data Dictionary certified data delivery mechanism.
