Centris.ca Data Parser & API

Centris.ca is Quebec’s leading real estate portal — ~6.5-12M monthly visits and the province’s full MLS inventory — and PropAPIS extracts its listings, prices, agent details, and geo through a single REST API. Access resale, rental, commercial, and land listings across Quebec without building or maintaining a scraper.

Operated by the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), Centris owns the Quebec market. Pair it with Realtor.ca for the rest of Canada and Realtor.com for cross-border US data.

Platform Overview

Centris.ca, operated by QPAREB, is the dominant MLS portal for Quebec and a separate data target from the national Realtor.ca. Industry rankings put Centris at ~6.53M visits in July 2025 (Silicon Review — 5 Best Canada RE websites ), with other estimates reaching 10-12M monthly. Together, Realtor.ca and Centris cover effectively all Canadian residential resale inventory.
