How It Works

This topic describes how to get started with the Anywhere API products.

1. Choose an API product

Get started by choosing an API product through the API products page and selecting a product.

API product is presented using the following labels:

  • Public: The API product is available to everyone.
  • Private: The API product is available only to those within Anywhere Real Estate Inc.
  • Partner: The API product is available to those within Anywhere Real Estate Inc. and selected Anywhere partners.

2. Sign up

To use an API product, you must register to create an account. If you are an employee of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. please login using your Anywhere email account.

To register and create an account:

  1. Register using Sign Up.
  2. Enter your information and select Create New Account.
  3. An activation link will be sent to your email account.
  4. Click on the activation link and log into your account.

3. Register an application

To use an API product, you must first create an application and associate it with the API product.

To create an application to receive API credentials:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Go to the dashboard to create an application through selecting Add App.
  3. Select the appropriate API product, environment and Company/Group/Team that you are a part of. You can select the name of your Company/Group/Team from dropdown in case there are multiple. If you are not associated with any Company/Group/Team, then you can add a unique Company/Group/Team. 
  4. In the Prefix App name field, add a unique name for your application.
  5. Submit the form through selecting Request API Credentials. Upon submission we will review your request and we will follow up via email.
  6. You can access your API credentials through the "My Apps" section.

If you have requested access to an API product, we will review your request within 2 business days. We will follow up with you via email. If you want to view the status of your application request please go to the "My Apps" section. This section will also display information related to your API credentials. 

4. Develop and test your application

Once you have received access to an API product, you are now ready to start development. For a step-by-step guide on how to use a specific API, navigate to the appropriate API product page to view the product documentation.

Once you complete development, please complete your testing, and plan for next steps.

5. Go live

Once you are ready to go live with your application, please review the following steps:

  1. Go to the API products page and review the appropriate product documentation and requirements.
  2. In the Get Access section from the API product or through the dashboard via selecting Add App, request production access for your application.

Your request for Production access will be reviewed within 2 business days. We will follow up with you via email.
