MLS data API, licensed through HAR

HAR MLS listings, on the site you already have.

HAR licenses its MLS data through its own chosen platform. We sync your licensed feed into your WordPress, Laravel or custom site and keep it current every 2 to 3 hours.

The gap

HAR.com sets the bar. Your site sits next to it.

HAR also runs HAR.com, its own consumer listing portal, so a broker site with stale or thin listings is easy to compare. The fix is the sync, not a new site. We have synced this board's feed before, on a multi MLS platform we built and ran from 2018 to 2025.

The board

What HAR MLS is

HAR MLS is run by the Houston Association of REALTORS, which represents over 50,000 members across greater Houston. HAR also runs HAR.com, its consumer listing portal.

HAR has data share agreements with NTREIS in Dallas Fort Worth, and with Unlock MLS in Austin and the San Antonio Board of REALTORS MLS. Those let subscribers see other markets inside their own MLS.

Repliers announced in April 2026 that HAR had named it the exclusive platform to license and distribute MLS data, adding data from HAR.com and its showing service on top.

The board decides which platform carries its feed. Each route has its own login, paging and limits, and its own page here.

Getting access

How a HAR broker gets a feed

HAR sets the licensing route. The steps below follow its April 2026 announcement. The audit confirms them for your case.

  1. 1

    Check your current feed

    If your site already pulls HAR data, list what it uses and under which licence.

  2. 2

    Request the licence

    Apply through the platform HAR names for licensing and say what the site will show.

  3. 3

    Sign the terms

    The licence sets the fields, statuses, display rules and any fee.

  4. 4

    Get credentials

    Credentials are issued once the licence is approved, and stored as a server secret.

  5. 5

    Check, then go live

    The sync is checked against the feed before your pages switch.

HAR sets the terms, fees and approval timing. We did not find HAR publishing a fee schedule for website feeds.
What the feed carries

What the HAR feed carries

Your licence decides the detail. These are the parts any HAR sync has to handle.

01

Listings

Active and pending listings, with solds where the licence allows.

02

Rosters

Agent and office data where the licence allows, or rosters built from the listing feed.

03

Open houses

Synced and attached to their listings where the feed carries them.

04

Photos

Carried through and served from an image CDN with resizing.

05

Change tracking

Regular pulls take only what changed since the last run, by modification time.

06

Removals

A daily purge with a minimum count check that blocks a bad purge and sends an alert.

Board rules

Rules the sync follows here.

HAR changed how it licenses data in 2026. These are the points that follow, and what the sync does with them.

A new licensing platform

Repliers announced in April 2026 that HAR had named it the exclusive platform to license and distribute MLS data. The audit checks which route and credentials your licence uses today.

Existing feeds

The announcement describes the new layer running beside existing delivery methods. If your site already pulls HAR data, the audit checks that feed before anything changes.

Display rules

IDX opt out flags and address hiding per listing are honoured, and the HAR disclaimer shows the last updated time.

Your stack

Into WordPress, Laravel or your own stack

WordPress

Credentials live in server config. A server cron job runs the HAR sync into its own tables, so listing pages load from your database, not a remote call. If the licensing route changes, only the sync changes and the theme stays.

Laravel

HAR gets its own driver and filter class over the shared parser. If HAR's route changes, a new driver writes the same listing schema, so models, pages and map search carry on untouched.

Custom

Any stack that can make HTTPS calls on a schedule will do. Keeping the sync apart from the pages matters more on HAR than most, since the licensing route has just changed.

How the switch happens

Old feed stays up until the new one agrees.

Your listings never go blank. The new sync runs beside whatever feeds the site today, and we only switch when the two match.

  1. Audit

    We check your HAR licence, the route it uses and what the site needs to show.

  2. Run the new sync beside the old

    It fills its own tables while your current listings stay up.

  3. Compare

    Counts, statuses, photos and rosters checked against the feed.

  4. Switch and retire

    Pages read from the new sync. The old plugin or script is removed.

Choosing a feed

Which route for HAR?

HAR now names one platform for licensing and distributing its MLS data. The announcement also says existing delivery methods stay in place, so a site with a working HAR feed may not need to move yet.

The audit checks what your licence covers today and which route it runs on. Then the sync is built so the route can change without touching your pages.

FAQ

Before the audit.

You license the data under HAR's terms, through the platform HAR names, then a developer syncs it into your site. We build that sync under your licence.
Repliers announced in April 2026 that HAR had named it the exclusive platform to license and distribute MLS data. The announcement says it runs beside existing delivery methods. The audit checks where your feed stands.
HAR has data share agreements with NTREIS and with Austin and San Antonio MLSs, but those cover what agents see in the MLS. A website feed from another MLS needs its own licence.
If your licence includes them. Solds sync on their own schedule and are scoped to your own office's deals by default.
Active listings every 2 to 3 hours, configurable, with a weekly full re-sync and a daily purge of off market listings.
No. We are an independent developer, not affiliated with HAR, HAR.com or Repliers. The licence is between you and HAR.
You can, the first version. Many RETS era feeds were built quickly and broke over the next few years: token changes, board rule changes, photos moving hosts, purges that wiped sites. The audit tells you what you would be signing up for either way.
The feed audit is $499 and credited to the integration. The integration is quoted as a fixed price after the audit.
