Listings in Lofty represent MLS properties that agents and their clients can browse, search, and save. The API gives you two ways to access listing data — a flexible search endpoint and a published listings feed — and lets you associate specific properties directly with a lead record.

What listings represent

A listing in Lofty corresponds to a property available on the MLS. Each listing carries the property’s address, price, physical attributes (beds, baths, square footage), MLS identifiers, and listing metadata such as days on site and listing type. Lofty stores both active and sold listings. The V2 search endpoint lets you query across both. The published listings endpoint returns the set of listings your team has published to a site feed in XML format, typically used to power public-facing property search pages.

Two ways to access listings

Search listings (V2)

POST /v2.0/listings/search is the primary endpoint for programmatic listing discovery. It supports filtering by location, price range, beds, baths, square footage, property type, days on site, and more. You can also scope results to your own listings, office listings, or all listings you have access to.
Filter condition format depends on the field type: Available sort values include MLS_LIST_DATE_L_DESC, PRICE_DESC, PRICE_ASC, BEDROOMS_DESC, BATHS_DESC, BUILT_YEAR_DESC, SQFT_DESC, RELEVANCE, and QUALITY_DESC.

Published listings (V1)

GET /v1.0/getPublishedListings returns listings your team has published to a public site feed in XML format. This endpoint is intended for powering site search pages and content syndication rather than programmatic data processing.
For searching listings by agent, office, or MLS ID with a simpler query structure, use:
Use POST /v2.0/listings/search for new integrations that need flexible filtering, pagination, and sort control. Use GET /v1.0/getPublishedListings only when you specifically need the XML site feed format.

Key listing fields

Associating a property with a lead

When a lead expresses interest in a specific property, you can attach that property to their record. This drives Lofty’s listing alert and inquiry workflows.
Use this endpoint to record a property a lead has viewed, inquired about, or favorited. You can also place a formal inquiry on a lead using POST /v1.0/leads/{leadId}/inquiry, which triggers the inquiry workflow within Lofty.
