What is IDX? Follow
IDX (Internet Data Exchange) — Doorify MLS
IDX is an umbrella term covering policies, standards, and software pertaining to the display of real estate listing information on websites. It gives Participants the ability to authorize limited electronic display of their listings by other Participants — also referred to as "Broker Reciprocity." Under IDX, Participants exchange consent to display each other's listings on their websites or mobile applications. Any Participant that opts into IDX grants the right for other Participants to display their listings, and in turn receives the right to display other Participants' listings.
Although IDX includes policies and standards, the term is commonly used to refer to the Data Feed of listings provided by an MLS system. This means that IDX enables Participants and Subscribers to integrate real estate listings from the MLS database into their own websites, providing consumers a way to search for active MLS listings directly on agent and broker sites.
Important Notes on Listing Distribution via IDX
