This page will soon contain the complete API documentation for our IDX Suite of products and will be updated frequently as new features are added.

Please note: The API functions described below are fully available in our retail IDX Suite of products.  If you have contracted IDXNW to create for you a custom IDX solution then it is possible the methods described below may differ or be unavailable in your specific situation and you are encouraged to contact support for more information.

If you are using the default "off the shelf" configuration of this IDX component (meaning that it has not been customized specifically for you), your site design and IFRAME must account for a width of 710 pixels.

A properly formatted simple URL to insert into an IFRAME for this component might look like:

http://search.idxnw.com/listings.html?id=123456789&s=1&type=resi

A properly formatted simple IFRAME tag to insert into your web site's HTML code for this component, when using the 'cd=1' switch, might look like:

If you are using the default "off the shelf" configuration of this IDX component (meaning that it has not been customized specifically for you), your site design and IFRAME can be of virtually any height and width you desire as the map dynamically resizes itself to the dimensions of the IFRAME that contains it. We recommend a width of '100%' and a height of '600' as a starting point and then you can modify to your specifications from there.

A properly formatted simple URL to insert into an IFRAME for this component might look like:

http://search.idxnw.com/mapsearch.html?id=123456789&city=seattle

A properly formatted simple IFRAME tag to insert into your web site's HTML code for this component might look like:
