How to Download IDX Property Data Feed for Brokers
Brokers may choose to download a FTP file containing all active listings from the local MLS and the links to multiple photos. This allows companies to store and update the listings in their own private, Web-based search mechanisms on their company's site. By choosing the download option a company may choose its own color schemes, report styles, etc. To download the listing information:
1. Login to http://floridarealtors.org
2. Click on the My Membership link in the upper right area.
3. Click the To Company Profile link on left-hand menu.
4. Click IDX button on the left.
5. Scroll down the page until you see the “File Upload/Download” area.
6. You will find a list of all the MLS Boards to which the broker belongs. Right click on the download file of interest and click on Copy Shortcut. Send this FTP link to your Web vendor for use.
Note: Be sure that you are aware of and in compliance with your local MLS's rules and regulations regarding the display of IDX and timely updates of listing information. Also note: For security purposes, an embedded password in each MLS link changes every 90 days. The broker is notified of the time and date of change. It is up to the broker to update the Webmaster.
