Data Licensing

Unparalleled Market Data with Superior Data Delivery

Unlock MLS is proud to have a native database mapped to the Real Estate Standards Organization’s (RESO) most modern standard, meaning your MLS system cares about data integrity, innovation, and the development of standards that streamline your business. Whether you’re an agent, broker, or vendor, we’ll work with you to properly license MLS data so you can provide robust services to your clients.

Data Delivery Methods

Our MLS provides MLS Grid, Trestle, and Bridge Interactive as data delivery platforms, delivering data through powerful WebAPIs. All platforms offer IDX, VOW, and Back Office feeds.

Options on how to sign up for a data feed are below. Please note that Unlock MLS uses MLS Grid as an administrative tool, so even if you’re a technology provider, broker, or agent signing up for a Trestle or Bridge feed, you will still need to sign up with MLS Grid to begin the process.

Data Licensing for Vendors

To be considered as a third-party vendor with Unlock MLS, a company must have at least one active Unlock MLS subscriber ready to sign up for their services. If you’re a vendor, register directly on MLS Grid, and staff will reach out to verify your application and provide more information, including pricing. If you have general questions before registering with MLS Grid, please contact mlsdata@unlockmls.com.

Once registered on Grid, you will select the data delivery platform of your choice (MLS GRID, Trestle or Bridge). Steps for setting up an IDX or VOW feed for each of those platforms are listed below.

Data Licensing for Unlock MLS Subscribers

Unlock MLS subscribers have several options for obtaining MLS listing content to build tools and services with an MLS data feed. Whether you want to work with a third-party vendor, start your own in-house feed, or use a simple IDX search module — we’ve got you! If you are working with a third party vendor, they will need to initiate the data license within GRID. If you have a tech contact within your brokerage, have them register directly on MLS Grid to create the data license for you. If you have general questions before registering with MLS Grid, please contact mlsdata@unlockmls.com.

Once registered on Grid, you will select the data delivery platform of your choice (MLS GRID, Trestle or Bridge). Steps for setting up an IDX or VOW feed for each of those platforms are listed below.
