IDX
Request An MLS Data Feed
Indiana Regional MLS (IRMLS) centrally manages and supports MLS data feeds on behalf of all local boards that participate in IRMLS. IRMLS Participants, and their agents with Participant permission, can contact the IRMLS IDX department to request a Data feed.
IRMLS will provide the appropriate contract and pricing based on the request. Primarily cost for payment of the MLS data feeds will be the responsibility of the MLS member. Both the Member and the Vendor will be responsible for the cost when using a WebAPI.
IRMLS will be responsible for setting up the data feed, providing access credentials, and conducting a compliance audit prior to launch to the public.
Members will be responsible for completing the required documents, payment of fees, and following all Data access and display rules.
Members of the North Central Indiana Association of REALTORS® (NCIAR) can contact the IRMLS IDX department to request a data feed via email or by calling 574-935-3940.
Types of MLS Data Feeds

Smart Framing
The “rDesk” Smart Frame solution allows IRMLS IDX subscribers to add “real-time” property search links to their websites. Links include a Map/General search, My Listings search, and My Office search.
IRMLS considers framing of a commercial or association property search to qualify as “smart framing” and will require members to sign an IDX contract and pay the appropriate fees.
Data Links Include
All non-confidential data, active-pending-sold statuses, and all property classes (Residential, Investment, Lots/Land, Farms/Ranch, Res Lease, Commercial, & Commercial Lease).
