# REALTOR.ca DDF Lead API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/crea/realtor-ca-ddf-lead-api/  
**Provider:** CREA (REALTOR.ca) — https://apis.io/providers/crea/  
**Base URL:** https://ddfapi.realtor.ca  
**Documentation:** https://ddfapi-docs.realtor.ca/

REALTOR.ca DDF Lead API is one of 3 APIs that [CREA (REALTOR.ca)](https://apis.io/providers/crea/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Leads, Property Listings, and Canada. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

The DDF Lead API is a single documented POST endpoint, /v1/Lead/CreateLead, on the same ddfapi.realtor.ca host as the DDF Web API. CREA requires it because REALTOR email addresses are deliberately excluded from the DDF Web API payload - "Real Estate Advertising Websites (REAW) are required to use the DDF lead API, as email addresses are not included in the DDF Web API". A syndicating site presents an "Email REALTOR" form to a consumer and posts the resulting lead through this endpoint rather than emailing the agent directly. It is described in the same public OpenAPI document as the rest of DDF and carries the same OAuth 2.0 client-credentials gate.
