BeachesMLS gives its subscribers a free IDX feed and sends it to the provider you choose. We can be that provider, syncing it into your WordPress, Laravel or custom site every 2 to 3 hours.

Turning it into search, listing pages and a map on your own site is the work, and it is often quoted as a new website. We have synced this board's feed before, on a multi MLS platform we built and ran from 2018 to 2025.
BeachesMLS describes itself as the MLS that powers Southeast Florida. Its market reports cover Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie and Miami-Dade counties.
Its subscribers have worked in two MLS systems, Flexmls and Matrix. BeachesMLS is normalising the data from both into a new backend so that the fields line up.
BeachesMLS offers subscribers a free IDX data feed, sent to the IDX provider they choose, and a free frameable IDX link for those who want something simpler.
The board decides which platform carries its feed. Each route has its own login, paging and limits, and its own page here.
BeachesMLS keeps it short. You ask for the feed and name who should receive it.
BeachesMLS publishes a list of approved IDX providers. A developer building your own sync is named as the provider.
Fill in the request form on the BeachesMLS IDX page.
BeachesMLS says it will be in touch if an agreement is needed for your request. Participant and AVM access agreements are on the same page.
BeachesMLS provides the feed to your provider, who sets up the sync.
BeachesMLS does not publish its feed format. The audit reads it from your credentials. These are the parts every IDX sync handles.
01Searchable IDX listings, as BeachesMLS describes the feed, with the statuses the IDX licence allows.
02Flexmls and Matrix used different names. The new backend normalises them, and the sync maps whatever arrives into one listing schema.
03Carried through and served from an image CDN with resizing.
04Pulled by modification timestamp, so only changed listings move on each run.
05A daily purge removes what left the feed, and skips the run with an alert if the feed returns too few listings.
BeachesMLS publishes little about the technical side of its feed. These points come from its own IDX and upgrade pages.
BeachesMLS says Flexmls and Matrix have historically been different data sets with different field names, and it is normalising both into a new backend. Field mapping is checked against the feed you receive today.
You name your IDX provider on the request form and BeachesMLS sends the feed to them. An agreement may be added if the request needs one.
BeachesMLS publishes its own IDX Rules and Regulations. Disclaimers and display rules are set per board in the templates, with the last updated time.
Many BeachesMLS sites use the free frameable link. Replacing it means a server cron job that fills listing tables, and theme templates that render real pages on your domain. The frame can stay live until the new pages are checked.
A BeachesMLS filter class maps the incoming fields onto a shared parser. When the backend change renames fields, only that class changes. Scheduled jobs run the changes pull, the weekly re-sync and the daily purge.
Any stack that can call the feed on a schedule will do. The sync writes one listing schema to your database, so the front end does not care which of the two old systems a listing came from.
Your listings never go blank. The new sync runs beside whatever feeds the site today, and we only switch when the two match.
We check your BeachesMLS feed, your platform and what the site needs to show.
It fills its own tables while your current listings stay up.
Counts, statuses, photos and rosters checked against the feed.
Pages read from the new sync. The old plugin or frame is removed.
BeachesMLS gives you three ways to show listings: a free frameable link, an approved IDX provider, or your own provider building a sync on the free feed.
The frame costs nothing but keeps listings off your own pages. A plugin is quick but ties you to the vendor. Your own sync costs more up front and gives you pages, search and leads on your own site. The audit says which fits.
Your site's address, what it runs on, and which MLS or feed you have access to.
Access, fields, photos, rosters, and how your platform stores listings.
What syncs, how often, what shows where, and a fixed price for the build.
If you go ahead, the $499 comes off the integration.
We are an independent developer. We are not affiliated with, or certified by, any MLS or data provider named on this page.
Send the site's address and the feed you have access to. The audit gives you a written plan and a fixed quote.
