Internet Data Exchange (IDX) is a type of data feed that CRMLS provides for users to display For Sale and Sold listings on their websites and other applications. These feeds include property listings in most of the statuses in the CRMLS coverage area, including our data share partners.
IDX links also bring clients from your website straight to your listings, quick searches, saved searches, or to view listing details. Tech-savvy users may apply for a direct feed to use while building their own website, but many users opt to utilize an IDX vendor that provides various website services.
Use this guide to set up an IDX Lite Link in CRMLS Flexmls.
From the main Menu, enter “IDX” in the search box and select IDX Manager.
