Agreement type	Use it when
In-House	Your brokerage's internal team builds and manages the solution. API credentials are issued directly to you and managed internally — no outside vendor involved.
Authorization of ATP	A third-party technology provider is involved — covers both publicly accessible websites and applications and internal back-office tools such as accounting or management software. The ATP handles the API credentials directly and is a named party in the agreement. The ATP must already be listed in Bridge before you can proceed.

Important Information

Your Broker of Record or designated signing authority must first log in and accept the Bridge terms before you can request a feed.
If you request a VOW feed and your brokerage has not already paid the annual VOW fee, the brokerage will be invoiced $1,500 + HST — sent directly to the Broker of Record or designated signing authority on record.

Important Information

As the Broker of Record, you must first log in and accept the Bridge terms before REALTORS® in your office can request a feed.
If you would like approval authority to be delegated to someone else within your office — meaning requests and approvals are executed by them instead of you — please reach out to your Member Association and inform them who it will be.
We recommend reviewing the MLS® Rules and MLS® Policies ahead of time. As Broker of Record, you are responsible for ensuring all data feeds operating under your brokerage are used accurately and in full compliance with the applicable rules and policies.

Agreement Walkthrough

Follow the steps below to complete your agreement in Bridge.

Accept the Bridge Terms of Use

The first time you open Bridge Agreement Manager, you'll be prompted to review and accept the Bridge Terms of Use before you can do anything else. Read through them and click Accept to continue. Keep in mind that each REALTOR® in your office will need to do the same on their own first login before they can submit any requests. Already done this? Skip ahead to Step 2.

Create a new agreement or review existing ones

After accepting terms you land on the Agreements dashboard. Click Create new agreement to start a new in-house agreement. Use View existing agreements to check the status of anything already in progress or waiting on your action.

Select the ITSO Brokerage Agreement — In-House

Under the Brokerage Agreement category, locate ITSO Brokerage Agreement – inhouse and click Create agreement. Only select this if your brokerage is building or operating the solution with its own staff. If a third-party provider is involved, use the ATP agreement instead.

Review the parties and agree to terms

The agreement wizard opens showing two parties: the Broker (you) and the MLS® (Information Technology Systems Ontario). The sidebar lists all five stages — Agreement Parties, Agreement Terms, Questionnaire, Execute Agreement, and Setup API. After confirming the parties, click Next. Step 2 then presents the full terms divided into sections — for each section, click Agree to Terms and check the required checkbox. Next only activates once all checkboxes are selected.

Complete the questionnaire

Select only the feed types your project genuinely requires. Inaccurate selections may delay feed approval. Fill in all required fields completely and accurately. For the technical contact fields, provide the name and email of the person who will be directly handling the API data and integration — this should be your best technical point of contact if ITSO needs to reach out.

Execute the agreement

Click Execute Agreement to record your acceptance and submit to ITSO for counter-signature. The agreement can be cancelled later via the dashboard. Once ITSO approves, the status updates to Agreed and you'll receive a confirmation email.

Create your API application

After submitting the agreement, return to the main Bridge dashboard by clicking Bridge at the top left of the screen. From there you will see the option to create your API Application. If you already have an existing application, it will appear at the top right of the screen next to your name — clicking it will allow you to create a separate application under the same account.

Fill in your API application details

Enter a Product name, Product type, and Usage description. This information is visible to data providers and should accurately describe your project. All three fields must be completed before the Setup API Application button activates.

Request access to the ITSO dataset

With your application configured, navigate to Data Access > Request Data Access. You'll see a list of available datasets — these represent other organizations and MLSs that also use the Bridge platform. Use the search bar at the top left to find ITSO, locate Information Technology Systems Ontario, and click Apply. If you need to update your application profile at this point, click Update Application Profile on the left before applying.

Retrieve your API credentials

Once both your agreement and data access request have been approved, navigate to the API Access tab to retrieve your credentials. Your Client ID is displayed directly. Click Show Token to reveal your Client Secret, Server Token, and Browser Token. These credentials provide direct access to the live data feed and must be treated as strictly confidential — do not share them with anyone outside of your internal IT team or the technical contact named in your data feed agreement.

Review agreement status at any time

Go to Agreements > Existing Agreements to see all agreements and their current status. Agreed means all parties have executed. Agreements awaiting another party will show their pending state here.
