Standard Fields

Multiple RESO Dictionary Support
This service supports multiple RESO Data Dictionary versions.
Not all listing data is suitable for display.
When using the Listings Service, you must consult the corresponding meta data services (e.g. Property Types and Standard Fields) for the PropertyType standard field and any other field where the HasList is true in the meta data.

See an example here.

The Standard Fields API allows retrieval of a list of supported standard fields and list items. Of special note is the MlsId field, which informs which other MLSs the current user may search.
