Steps

  1. Determine which data plan you need (IDX for public display, Private for back-office, or Broker/Agent Own Data for broker-scoped access) and enroll through your Flexmls MLS board
  2. Obtain your Spark API key from the MLS's data plan enrollment; contact api-support@fbsdata.com if your MLS does not yet offer the needed plan
  3. Authenticate by including your API key in the X-SparkApi-User-Agent header or via OAuth 2.0 hybrid session flow depending on the application type
  4. Issue GET requests to /v1/listings with SparkQL filter expressions; SparkQL supports standard field comparisons, geospatial proximity, and multi-value field matching
  5. Page through results using _limit and _offset parameters, and use _pagination=1 to receive total count metadata
  6. For photo retrieval, access the /v1/listings/{id}/photos endpoint; photos are returned as URL arrays with width and height metadata
