Cooperating Keys (Other Boards)

Rules & Compliance
IDX Access (BridgeAPI only)
BER provides IDX via BridgeAPI only. Our IDX policy is contained within the MLS Rules (PDF).
How to Request Access
- Vendors: request access to the Bonita Springs–Estero REALTORS® association within BridgeAPI, or email Tech@BERealtors.org to be invited.
- We work directly with vendors, not individual agents.
- If your vendor already receives an IDX feed: have them email Tech@BERealtors.org with your site details to approve your domain.
What to Know
- Follow display, attribution, and refresh rules in the MLS Rules document.
- Ensure broker authorization is current in your vendor’s Bridge integration.
- For compliance questions, contact MLS@BERealtors.org.
