To Access the CanadianReal Estate Association's (CREA) Data and store the datasets in a database.
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
I'm looking for a server-based program to retrieve data from CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association)'s feed. Then download the real estate listings data into a database on the cloud and update it hourly.
It could be done either through CREA's itself:
Here is the documentation: https://www.crea.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Data_Distribution_Facility_Data_Feed_Technical_Documentation.pdf
Or there is a Github at: https://github.com/troydavisson/PHRETS
What is the CREA DDF?
The Canadian Real Estate Association Data Distribution Facility (CREA DDF) was designed to help real estate brokerages give their office listings additional exposure.
The Real Estate Transaction Standard (RETS)
REBGV facilitates MLS data sharing through a RETS interface. RETS is an industry-specific technology that most real estate boards use to share data. RETS isn't meant to be used in real-time, so you'll have to periodically check for updates, store the data in a database, and then query the data through your website or app.
You can familiarize yourself with how RETS works, develop a RETS client, and regularly query CREA for updates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Estate_Transaction_Standard.
