Questions tagged [rets]

The Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS) facilitates data transfer between partners in the real estate industry via XML/webservice calls. It is an improvement over the existing protocol/procedure called IDX (Internet Data exchange) which could mean HTTP webservices, CSV files from FTP, or in some cases via Telnet.

RETS is a standardized and Realtor Association of America backed protocol meant to help consolidate and simplify the process of a multiple listing service organization providing access to their respective real estate date. Part of this standardization process was the creation of a standard naming convention and schema for data, which is still in progress.
