Photos

Data Element

Description

It is often a requirement of listing a property as part of an MLS listing service that a reasonable number of photographs of the property be submitted. This is to aid in the sale of the property by helping a potential buyer see what the property looks like. The rules regarding the nature of the photos provided are set by each individual MLS. The listing broker should own, or have the authority to publish, all submitted photographs. The photos should be considered copyrighted material that can only be used under the terms by which the MLS (and ATTOM) have made the data available.

Note: At this time Photos are not available as part of ATTOM Cloud. They can only be accessed via our Slipstream API.

Usage

Image URL

The URL used to display a photograph is composed of 4 components

Resizing Images

The image server includes the ability to control the size of the image that is displayed. This is especially useful if wanting to display thumbnails as part of a property website. This can be achieved by adding a parameter to the url that specifies the image width in pixels. e.g. https://listing-images.homejunction.com/star/33586/photo_25.jpg?width=600
