FousParagon MLS

Get your Paragon MLS searches through an API

Read your Paragon hotsheet, a saved property search or a listing's detail view with one API call each. Or have a workflow run the hotsheet before you start work and email you the status and price changes in your farm area.

Works with your own Paragon MLS account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate Paragon with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

    Step 1

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get hotsheet changes” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "paragonrels.com/get_hotsheet_changes",
    "input": {
      "property_class": "Residential",
      "days_back": 1,
      "area": "Northwind Heights"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "property_class": "Residential",
    "from": "2026-11-11",
    "changes": [
      {
        "mls_number": "2604187",
        "address": "418 Acme Ridge Rd",
        "hotsheet_type": "Price Change",
        "change_date": "2026-11-11",
        "status": "Active",
        "list_price": 489000,
        "comments": "Reduced, seller motivated"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Paragon’s own options

ICE offers RESO Web API and RETS feeds of Paragon data, but each MLS, board or association decides how its data reaches vendors and issues the credentials, one set per feed such as IDX, VOW or BBO. ICE sends access and field questions to that organization. Agents themselves work in Paragon on their MLS's own address.

OpenMLS RESO Web APIProperty, Member, Office, Media and Lookup data in the RESO Data Dictionary, over OData on the MLS's paragonrels.com address.A client ID and secret from your MLS organization, OAuth 2.0 client credentials, and separate credentials for each feed.
RETSThe legacy feed, still supported for organizations that use it, and the route for agent and office photos and documents.A RETS login from your MLS organization, HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and Basic Authentication.

Signing in to Paragon

Paragon Connect is reached on your MLS's own address and signs you in with a unique Login Name and Password. Your MLS sets how long an idle session lasts before you are logged off. With Fous you sign in once through Paragon's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Your security level decides what you see
Each Paragon user has one of 10 security levels. Level 2 can search but not enter listings, level 4 has full Listing Input, and levels 5 and 6 add office and firm access.
Every MLS has its own address and rules
Paragon is reached on a customer-specific URL, and fields, search forms and listing rules are set by each MLS. A method is built for your MLS's address and reads what your account sees there.
A listing saves only when it passes the rules
Listing Input checks each field against the business rules your organization has set. Errors show under the field, and the listing is not saved until all of them are resolved.
Ten hotsheet alerts per agent
An agent can save up to ten hotsheet alerts in Paragon Connect. A scheduled workflow can run as many hotsheet searches as you name and send the results by email or webhook.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but not one an agent turns on alone. ICE provides the OpenMLS RESO Web API and RETS, and your MLS, board or association issues the credentials, one set per feed such as IDX, VOW or BBO. Ask your MLS organization about access and which fields it includes.

Yes, by hand from the spreadsheet view of your search results, which has an export option. With Fous, a method can run a saved search and return the rows as JSON, and a workflow can do it on a schedule.

A hotsheet lists the listings where changes such as a status or price change happened within a time frame you set, by days back or a date range. Each result shows the hotsheet type, the date and comments, and searches can be saved.

No. A method reads and does only what your own Paragon account can, at the security level your MLS has given it.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Paragon account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
