An IDX feed (standing for Internet Data Exchange) is an interactive module that reflects the listings on the MLS. When putting this module on your website, your clients may interact with the listings you choose to show on your IDX feed and may contact you when they find a listing they are interested in. Any time you search for listings online, you are utilizing an IDX feed. Please see an example of our selective RETS IDX feed HERE..
