MLS is served through the Universal Web Scraper API

You scrape MLS with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any MLS URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no MLS-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.

About MLS

MLS.com is a public-facing real estate portal that aggregates listings and links to regional Multiple Listing Service data for homes across the United States. Its search and listing pages surface for-sale properties with prices and basic attributes worth scraping.

Scraping note: MLS.com is largely a directory that links out to regional listing systems, so plan to follow outbound links and note that underlying MLS feeds often restrict redistribution.

Example MLS page

https://www.mls.com/search/california.mvc

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from MLS

check_small listing price check_small property address check_small city and state check_small bedrooms and bathrooms check_small square footage check_small listing broker

Common use: Pull for-sale home listings by state to seed a nationwide US property dataset or lead-generation pipeline for agents.

Everything you need to scrape MLS

You never expose your own IP, you get validated JSON instead of raw HTML, and the free tier covers mls scraper at 1,000 requests a month with no card required.

data_object

Clean structured JSON

The MLS page comes back as JSON in the parse mode you choose: auto, html, text, or json. No selectors to maintain for mls scraper.

gpp_good

Bypasses CAPTCHAs and anti-bot defenses

We get past CAPTCHAs, IP rate limiting, IP blocking, and headless-browser detection on MLS using rotating, country-matched residential proxies, so requests look like real users and your own IP stays private.

api

One API call

Scraping MLS is one simple API call. The same key works across our whole web scraping API: all 235 targets, any language, no SDK required.

travel_explore

Geo-targeting and JS rendering

Pass a country for proxy geo-targeting and turn on JavaScript rendering when a MLS page needs it. mls data api handles dynamic content and region-locked results.

Scrape MLS in one API request

Send one API request to the Universal Web Scraper API with a MLS URL and read the page back as JSON. Chocodata routes it through residential proxies and retries soft blocks, so mls api works without a MLS-specific integration.

MLS Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape MLS?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible MLS data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override MLS's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape MLS without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape MLS without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so MLS's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the MLS Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the MLS page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the MLS Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The MLS Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a MLS account or login?

expand_more
No MLS login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible MLS URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any MLS credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
