 Endpoint: https://showmojo.com/api/v1/listings

 Request method: POST

 Authentication:

 Additional request headers:

  •  "Accept: application/json"
  •  "Content-type: application/json"


ShowMojo will try to find a listing by the following rules:

  • Match one of provided IDs: code, uid or mls_id
  • Exact match of address information: address, unit, city and state

If ShowMojo does not find a match on an existing listing it will create a new one.

When ShowMojo updates a listing, it replaces all existing listing information with the newly provided listing information.

NOTE: the "code" field on listing is provided specifically for the ShowMojo customer to add and use their own internal listing ids.
