Perchwell

Perchwell is a modern, unified MLS (Multiple Listing Service) technology platform used by MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate agents across the United States. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York City, Perchwell provides search, client collaboration, listing add/edit, branded reports, and market analytics on a cloud-native, RESO-certified foundation. For developers and data partners, Perchwell operates three real estate data APIs: a simple token-authenticated JSON API for listing feeds, a RESO Data Dictionary certified RESO Web API (OData 4.01) exposing the standard Property, Member, Office, OpenHouse, and Media resources with full read/write support, and a legacy RETS 1.7 server for backward compatibility. Customers include CRMLS, Baldwin REALTORS, Engel & Volkers, and Keller Williams. Perchwell is SOC 2 compliant and backed by Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Starwood Capital.

Perchwell publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Listings API, Media API, Member API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Real-Estate, MLS, Listings, and Property Data.

Perchwell’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/perchwell: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
