How can I add a RETS feed to my WordPress website?
Please note that the Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS) has been deprecated and is no longer recommended for use in MLS/IDX integration. Consumers are advised to use the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) Web API, which provides a more efficient and secure way of accessing MLS/IDX data. We strongly encourage all users to transition to RESO Web API for a better and more reliable experience. Learn more
If your MLS offers a RETS feed, you can use it to improve your IDX display and boost your site’s SEO.
To do this you will need to access the RETS server and use several queries to discover available resources, download data, and run incremental updates.
The process can include:
– Logging into the RETS server
– Gathering information about available resources
– Retrieving available classes for each resource
– Retrieving field definitions for each class
– Running queries to retrieve information about a specified resource
– Downloading objects for returned resources
– Running incremental update processes

The National Association of Realtors also extensive documentation on RETS here: https://www.nar.realtor/retsorg.nsf/pages/docs
