OnTheMarket

OnTheMarket is the third-largest residential property portal in the United Kingdom, operating onthemarket.com. It was founded in 2013 by Agents' Mutual Limited as an agent-owned challenger to Rightmove and Zoopla, listed on AIM as OnTheMarket plc, and was acquired outright by CoStar Group in December 2023 for approximately GBP 99 million. In a market with no MLS and no cooperative listing standard, OnTheMarket sits at the demand end of the value chain: consumers search the portal, and listings arrive from member estate agents' CRM systems rather than from a shared data pool. Its API posture is honest and narrow. There is no public developer portal — developer., developers., api. and docs.onthemarket.com do not resolve, and /developers, /api, /docs, /openapi.json, /swagger.json and /api-docs all return 404 on the main site. What does exist is a member-only integration surface: the OnTheMarket Real Time Datafeed (RTDF), a Rightmove-RTDF-compatible feed API served from the live, OnTheMarket-operated host realtime-api.onthemarket.com, used by agency CRM vendors to push listings and pull branch enquiries on behalf of member agents. No machine-readable contract for it is published anywhere; OnTheMarket's developer guide is distributed under agreement, and every path on the host returns 404 to an anonymous caller. There is no RESO Web API or Data Dictionary certification, no OData $metadata document and no Universal Property Identifier anywhere in the stack — RESO is a North American construct and the UK has never adopted it, so "certified but unreachable" does not apply here; there is no certification layer in this market at all. OnTheMarket publishes no open data. The genuinely open UK property layer belongs to the public sector — HM Land Registry Price Paid Data and Ordnance Survey — and none of it comes from the portals. OnTheMarket's own Terms of Use go further than most and expressly forbid automated access to any page other than the home page.

OnTheMarket publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Real Estate, United Kingdom, Property Listings, Property Portal, and PropTech.

OnTheMarket’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 17 more developer resources.

  description: 'OnTheMarket''s member-only feed API for estate-agency CRM software. It is modelled on the Rightmove Real Time
    Datafeed (RTDF/ADF) specification, with OnTheMarket-specific differences in request and response fields and an "Only With
    Us" capability for exclusive listings; overseas properties are not supported. The service host realtime-api.onthemarket.com
    is live and presents an OnTheMarket TLS certificate (subject O=Agents'' Mutual Limited, CN=*.onthemarket.com), and the
    enquiry endpoint /v1/property/getbranchemails is published in third-party CRM vendor setup instructions. OnTheMarket publishes
    no documentation, no OpenAPI, no Swagger and no OData $metadata for it: every path on the host returns HTTP 404 with an
    empty body to an anonymous client, and there is no self-service signup. Access requires an existing OnTheMarket agent
    membership with a data feed in place, arranged through OnTheMarket support — a Rightmove-style RTDF connection using a
    client certificate over TLS. Listed here as a real but undocumented and member-gated surface, with no machine-readable
    contract available to harvest.'
