Automate SimplyRETS

What SimplyRETS is

The SimplyRETS API is an exciting step towards making it easier for developers and real estate agents to build something awesome with real estate data! The documentation below makes live requests to our API using the trial data. To get set up with the API using live MLS data, you must have RETS credentials from your MLS, which you can then use to create an app with SimplyRETS. For more information

API host: api.simplyrets.com

What HumDay can read from SimplyRETS

These are the operations a schedule or a trigger can watch.

How automating SimplyRETS works

  1. Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
  2. Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
  3. See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live SimplyRETS account.
  4. Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific SimplyRETS operations it may use — and only those.

No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your SimplyRETS account.
What can HumDay do in SimplyRETS?
0 of the 4 documented operations change something in SimplyRETS, and 4 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.
