# MLS Grid API Reference
|
|
|
|
Documentation for the MLS Grid API v2 used by this plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Base URL
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://api.mlsgrid.com/v2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
Bearer token authentication via HTTP header:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Required Header:**
|
|
```
|
|
Accept-Encoding: gzip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The API requires gzip compression and will return error 400 without it.
|
|
|
|
## Rate Limits
|
|
|
|
| Limit | Value |
|
|
|-------|-------|
|
|
| Per Second | 2 requests |
|
|
| Per Hour | 7,200 requests |
|
|
| Per Day | 40,000 requests |
|
|
| Data Per Hour | 4GB |
|
|
|
|
Exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 and temporarily suspends access.
|
|
|
|

## Pagination
|
|
|
|
Responses include `@odata.nextLink` field containing URL for next page.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"@odata.context": "...",
|
|
"value": [...],
|
|
"@odata.nextLink": "https://api.mlsgrid.com/v2/Property?$filter=...&$skip=1000"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Continue fetching until `@odata.nextLink` is absent.

## Media (via $expand)
|
|
|
|
When using `$expand=Media`, each property includes Media array:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Media": [
|
|
{
|
|
"MediaKey": "abc123",
|
|
"MediaURL": "https://media.mlsgrid.com/...",
|
|
"Order": 1,
|
|
"ImageWidth": 1200,
|
|
"ImageHeight": 800,
|
|
"MediaModificationTimestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Important:** MediaURL is for downloading only. Store images locally.
|
|
|
|
## Sync Strategy
|
|
|
|
### Initial Import
|
|
|
|
1. Query with `MlgCanView eq true` to get viewable records
|
|
2. Follow `@odata.nextLink` for pagination
|
|
3. Store `ModificationTimestamp` from last record
|
|
|
|
### Incremental Sync
|
|
|
|
1. Query with `ModificationTimestamp gt {last_timestamp}`
|
|
2. Do NOT filter by MlgCanView (need to see deletions)
|
|
3. If `MlgCanView = false`, delete local record
|
|
|
|
### Media Sync
|
|
|
|
1. Check `PhotosChangeTimestamp` on each property
|
|
2. If changed, replace all media for that listing
|
|
3. Match by `MediaKey`, download via `MediaURL`
|
|
4. Delete media where `MediaKey` no longer exists
|
|
|
|
### Error Recovery
|
|
|
|
Store `@odata.nextLink` after each page. On failure, resume from that URL.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Sequential requests only** - Do not parallelize API calls
|
|
2. **Respect rate limits** - 2 req/sec max, pause if approaching limits
|
|
3. **Use $expand wisely** - Reduces per-page limit from 5000 to 1000
|
|
4. **Store raw JSON** - Keep original response for debugging
|
|
5. **Query Lookup sparingly** - Once per day maximum
|
|
6. **Don't hotlink media** - Download and serve from local storage
|
|
|
|
## Error Responses
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"error": {
|
|
"code": 400,
|
|
"message": "Error description",
|
|
"target": "misc",
|
|
"details": []
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Code | Meaning |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| 400 | Bad request (check filters, missing gzip) |
|
|
| 401 | Unauthorized (invalid token) |
|
|
| 429 | Rate limited (wait and retry) |
|
|
| 500+ | Server error (retry with backoff) |
