Domus API

The Domus XML-based API allows Domus Estate Agent and Letting Agency Software to work with your existing website. You can now seamlessly integrate Domus property information by making some minor changes. Domus websites have always been built in this way and we have now made this facility available to external developers and web designers.

The Domus API provides a full search facility, featured properties and full details including photos, floorplans and EPC graph. We're sure you'll come up with all sorts of innovative ways to use the API but to get you started, here are some of our ideas:

  • Integrate Domus property search and full details into your existing website
  • RSS feed for property search
  • Mobile optimised property search
  • Search widget for blog

How Does It Work?

The Domus API works by accepting a normal HTTP request, processing that request and returning results in XML format. It is platform independent so your application may be built using any technology: PHP, .Net, Java, etc.
