Realtor.ca Data Parser & API

Realtor.ca is Canada’s national real estate portal — ~13-15M monthly visits and ~202K active for-sale listings — and PropAPIS extracts its MLS-fed listings, prices, agent details, and geo through a single REST API. Access resale, rental, commercial, and land listings nationwide without building or maintaining a scraper.

Operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), Realtor.ca is the de-facto national MLS front-end. Pair it with Centris.ca for Quebec coverage and Realtor.com for cross-border US data.

Platform Overview

Realtor.ca, operated by CREA, is the authoritative national MLS front-end for Canada. The portal carried ~202,500 active for-sale listings as of July 2025, up ~10.1% year-over-year (Moss and Fog — 5 Best Canada RE platforms ), drawing roughly 13-15M visits per month. Member data access is via CREA’s DDF (Data Distribution Facility) feed rather than a public API.

Market Coverage

Data Availability

Realtor.ca carries full MLS residential fields — address, price, MLS ID, agent and brokerage, photos, and property attributes.
