The SimplyRETS API is an exciting step towards making it easier for developers and real estate agents to build something awesome with real estate data! The documentation below makes live requests to our API using the trial data. To get set up with the API using live MLS data, you must have RETS credentials from your MLS, which you can then use to create an app with SimplyRETS. For more information. The API exposes 4 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the SimplyRETS to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SimplyRETS, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use SimplyRETS API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the SimplyRETS to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 4 endpoints covering core functionality including the simplyrets openhouses api, single openhouse endpoint, the simplyrets listings api.
Call GET /openhouses to the simplyrets openhouses api
Automated openhouses Management
Automate openhouses operations by combining multiple SimplyRETS endpoints. Agents can single openhouse endpoint and then the simplyrets listings api in a single workflow.
Call GET /openhouses/{openHouseKey} to single openhouse endpoint, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SimplyRETS endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'the simplyrets openhouses api', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
SimplyRETS basic credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'the simplyrets openhouses api') and Jentic returns the matching SimplyRETS operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct SimplyRETS integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Can I the simplyrets openhouses api with the SimplyRETS?
Yes. Use the GET /openhouses endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SimplyRETS?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
