Can I Use MLS®/IDX Widgets To Power My Wordpress Sites Built-in Listing Functionality?
The RealtyNinja MLS®/IDX Widget is designed to add real estate listing and search functionality to any third-party website that does not already have real estate features. This means that you can hire a web designer to create a custom site for you (such as a Wordpress site) and then create regular "content" pages for real estate listing and search functionality. For example, they could create a regular page that will act as the "Active Listings" page on your Wordpress website, and then embed the MLS®/IDX Widget iframe on that page.
What our MLS®/IDX Widget does NOT do is integrate with existing real estate features/functionality in the third-party website. This means that if you are using a Wordpress theme that already has real estate search functionality, our MLS®/IDX Widget will not "power" the themes functionality. Or in other words, we do not provide listing data for third-party functionality to use, such as an API. Simply put, we provide an embeddable all-in-one real estate "widget" that can be placed on an existing website but does not integrate with real estate functionality in the third-party website.
The below image illustrates that our functionality is embedded into the third-party website as is and is not meant to power existing real estate functionality but instead provide new functionality:
