Wrapper for the realtor.ca API

Filter all available listings

POST https://api37.realtor.ca/Listing.svc/PropertySearch_Post

Get details about a specific listing

GET https://api37.realtor.ca/Listing.svc/PropertyDetails

Methods

realtor.post(options) - returns a promise which will resolve with a JSON object containing the query results returned from realtor.ca.

realtor.getPropertyDetails(options) - returns a promise which will resolve with a JSON object containing the detailed information of a property. Passing PropertyId, and ReferenceNumber(MLS number) as options is required. The PropertyId can be obtained from the listing URL.

realtor.buildUrl - returns a URL with the query string constructed from the specified options.

realtor.optionsFromUrl - returns options from a URL from realtor.ca (from the map view).

^ Note: The website link from buildUrl only allows specific price quantities. Any inconsistent PriceMin and PriceMax values will be rounded up to the next price level. Read the source for clarification.

Usage

const realtor = require('realtorca');

let opts = {
  LongitudeMin: -79.6758985519409,
  LongitudeMax: -79.6079635620117,
