Unable to Connect to MLS API using Estatik Plugin

  • I am currently attempting to integrate the Estatik plugin with an MLS API and have encountered issues during the connection process. Below are the general details of my setup and the steps I have taken:

    1. API Endpoint for Authentication:
      • I have an endpoint URL for authentication that requires a POST request method to retrieve an access token.
    2. Authentication Details:
      • I have the necessary User ID and Password required for authentication.
    3. Steps to Retrieve Access Token:
      • Using the provided credentials, I send a POST request to the authentication endpoint. This should return an access token for subsequent API calls to retrieve listings, metadata, etc.
    4. API Endpoint for Data Retrieval:
      • There are specific URLs provided by the MLS API for accessing data such as listings and metadata.
    5. Issue Encountered:
      • I have tried configuring the Estatik plugin using both the RETS and WEBAPI options, inputting the API URL and access token. However, I am unable to establish a successful connection.
      • When attempting to connect, I receive errors such as 405 Method Not Allowed and 401 Unauthorized.
    6. Error Details:
      • 405 Method Not Allowed: This error occurs when trying to authenticate, indicating that the GET method is not allowed for the authentication endpoint, which requires a POST request.
      • 401 Unauthorized: This error suggests that the credentials provided might not be accepted, though they work correctly when tested with Postman.

    Could you please provide guidance on the following:

    • The correct configuration steps within the Estatik plugin to connect to an MLS API that requires a POST method for authentication.
    • Any specific settings or adjustments that need to be made in the plugin to handle the POST request and store the access token for subsequent API calls.
    • Any known issues or limitations with the plugin when integrating with this specific MLS API.

    I have tested the API credentials and endpoints using Postman and confirmed that they are correct, as I can successfully retrieve the access token and access other endpoints when using Postman.

    Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    @estatik Hello!

    Thank you for providing the list of MLS providers you work with.

    We have already purchased the SABOR MLS service and are committed to integrating it successfully.

    Given that we are using SABOR MLS, is there any specific guidance or code adjustments you can provide to help us successfully integrate with our current setup?

    We are currently experiencing challenges with the Estatik plugin and would appreciate any help in making this integration work.

    If you are skilled in PHP, you can try using the various filters provided by our plugin for developers to integrate your provider through your child theme.
