Please recommend MLS Wordpress API service with unlimited domains

Ahmed Al Banna · May 22, 2023

Hello everyone,

Please recommend MLS API service which I can integrate into unlimited Wordpress. I see there are a lot of services but the ones I checked out are per domain per month type of service. I have few real estate domains that could be used and I don't want to pay monthly for each domain API. My goal is to build Wordpress with MLS data + have blog articles. It will take few months per each domain to see any results and carrying over monthly MLS API for each domain can get expensive.

Anyone know service that is flat monthly fee for unlimited or 5-10 domain names?

There's a reason you can't find an API like this. MLS API Providers make money by restricting access per domain. Thats literally their business model.

Only way is to get access to an API and scrape the data so you can host your own "wrapper api" and use it across all your sites.

Thanks for the heads up. I understand that most operate per domain but there has to be exceptions. For other business models such as Wordpress themes / plugins / other types of SaaS there are per domain plan and there are providers that provide either multiple domains or unlimited plans. There are dozens of MLS data providers and hence I ask for advice.

How hard is it to create "wrapper API" in terms of programming hours for MLS data API?

Try with a nginx reverse proxy on the allowed host first. If it works, you will not need to do anything special.

Something e.g.

Code:

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name yourallowedhost.com;
  location / {
    proxy_pass https://the-original-mlsapi-url.com;
  }
}

Untested code, use with caution.

If this works out, you could then use https://yourallowedhost.com (SSL settings need to be added separately. I only provided the http one. Use cloudflare flexible ssl if you don't know how to configure SSL yourself) as the API base url instead of https://the-original-mlsapi-url.com and call just as you would call the original api.
