[libRETS-users] Strange Error

[Russ Perna]

I finally got in touch with someone at InterRealty and it appears that they
had some sort of configuration issue on their end. They made some change and
I can login and run my query now.

I have one more question and I should be good to go. When I did my other
RETS boards, I was immediately able to parse the returned data by field
name, whereas here I am required to query by field number since using the
field name throws an error. I assume I have to match up the metadata
somehow, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing this. Anyone have any
thoughts.

Thanks a lot to everyone for working me through our other issue.

Thanks,
Russ

Sorry for being late to the party. :-)

I don't see in the thread whether or not you actually tried the proper
lookup syntax. I would expect to see the query from librets to look like:

...;Query=(290%3d%7cACT),(40%3d%7c440)...

One thing to try is to attempt to issue this query from your favorite
browser if possible (some servers will allow it, some won't). You can also
try it from cURL. Here is a sample using the crt demo server:

http://demo.crt.realtors.org:6103/rets/login

(use Joe for the user and Schmoe for the password)

The next line may be wrapped, so you may need to untangle it ... it should
be one long line:

http://demo.crt.realtors.org:6103/rets/search? 
Format=COMPACT&SearchType=Property&Class=ResidentialProperty&StandardNam
es=0&QueryType=DMQL&Query=(LN%3D1%2B)%2C(BATHS%3D3%2B)%2C(BEDROOMS%
3D3%2B)

This should show 3 properties. Unfortunately, I can't demo this with a
lookup.

Try doing the same with your provider and see if the query works outside of
librets. That will help us get a better handle on things.

Regards,



M.
