The modes & supported provinces.
This document outlines the differences between Pro, Lite, and Sandbox modes for the GetBuildify API, along with information on supported provinces.
1. API Products
The GetBuildify API offers three access modes:
- Pro: This mode provides unlimited access to all available data:
- Fetch an unlimited number of resources at once.
- View Listings with any selling status.
- Attach profiles (agents, builders, brokerages, interior designers, etc) or listings to response based on provided references.
- Include document files and floor plans for Listings.
Pro is ideal for users who need full access to all Realtor data.
- Lite: This mode is designed for basic use cases. It allows you to fetch a limited number of resources at once:
- Includes Listings with specific selling statuses: Selling Now and Registration.
- Does not allow aggregating profiles or listings data through references parameter.
- Does not include document files and floor plans for Listings.
Lite is a good option for users who only need access to a subset of data or who are concerned about data usage.
- Sandbox: This mode uses test data, it might not be accurate at all times.
- Only allow to fetch 5 resources at once.
- Do not allow to attach profiles or Listings.
- Include floor plans for Listings.
Sandbox is a good way to test your integration with the Realtor API before moving to a production environment.

(Pro mode).api.getbuildify.com/v1-lite/<province_abbreviation>
(Lite mode).api.getbuildify.com/v1-sandbox/<province_abbreviation>
(Sandbox mode).
For example:
- To access Pro data for Ontario, use
api.getbuildify.com/v1/on
. - To access Lite data for British Columbia, use
api.getbuildify.com/v1-lite/bc
.
Default Province: If you do not specify a province abbreviation in the URL, Ontario (on) will be used by default.
