These changing always cause a little risk, work, and stress for everyone involved.  However, there can be many necessary reasons to switch vendors.  Any serious player in a data-heavy ecosystem learns to expect these major API and feed changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drama and Game Of Thrones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amusingly, this time the API changes involve a new outsourced vendor.  REBNY is switching from one company to another, and the breakup is not going well.  Stratus has pulled a Stannis Baratheon, Phase 1.   They have very publicly aired their grievances with the parties involved, and taken things a step further by sending a raven to every corner of the realm.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10201\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/7037b0a9ea7497b233b0b3419ffdf4c8\/tumblr_ms308l7ac51sfo56ro2_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"136\"><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Even we received copies of their two attorney demand letters.

Status was never in the business of taking on direct brokerage firm clients and syndicating to marketplaces.  They built a backend feed platform and allowed syndication feed companies to join it.    Nestio, RealtyMX, OLR, and Perchwell are all competitors in the syndication game (and each one focusing on more than JUST syndication).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By allowing one of the syndicators to also mandate and specify the REBNY RLS API, will there be a conflict of interest?  Can Perchwell use this as a tool to win more clients?  And will they keep a strong separation of church and state when it comes to servicing feed listings from competitors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hopefully No Impact To Marketplace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a marketplace, RentHop and RealtyHop are fairly neutral and accept feeds from any reliable source.  Lawrence predicted this model in his <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"syndicators and aggregators vision (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/rental-listings-feeds-syndication-aggregation\/\" target=\"_blank\">syndicators and aggregators vision<\/a>.  We aren&#8217;t impacted by any of this, as long as there isn&#8217;t a massive interruption of service (which is possible).  However, everyone tends to benefit when there is an ecosystem of multiple partners, all cooperating and sharing data to the benefit of customers, landlords, and brokers.  We hope things don&#8217;t turn too ugly.   Anything that breaks the flow of listings distribution only weakens REBNY and their control over regulating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtyhop.com\/for-sale\/new-york-ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New York City condo, co-op, and apartment listings (opens in a new tab)\">New York City condo, co-op, and apartment listings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REBNY and RLS switched the vendor powering the RLS feed from Stratus Data Systems to Perchwell.
