Please provide full request call in your question. Example: `property = client.find :first, { search_type: 'Property', class: 'CLASS_NAME', query: 'RETS_QUERY', limit: 1 }` — Alex Baidan, Oct 19 '18 at 06:37
Hii Oleksii ,I want access the data from mls number. I'm giving MLNUM in query but it gives me error code 20200 . — Priyadarshani mini, Oct 19 '18 at 06:59
1. This gem is quite outdated. Even link to rest.org in it description redirected to new website reso.org, which have more fresh ruby repo in [documentation](https://www.reso.org/web-api-tools/). 2. If you still need this old resource, try to dig in to understand where the problem is. First of all who gives this error - external API (you can tru with curl) or ruby code? If external API: is `client` object you use connected to API? Also try to find their docs and check how to build query. — Alex Baidan, Oct 19 '18 at 07:26
Can anyone help me how to get all mls data from query without giving any property type in query.Right Now I am giving like this : result = clientObj.find :all, { search_type: "Property", class: "", query: "Status|=A" } — Priyadarshani mini, Oct 31 '18 at 10:36
@Priyadarshanimini, I'm not aware of any MLS that will allow you to query without the class so you get can multiple property types in one go. Some MLS's will provide a "Multi" class that combines data for multiple property types for this purpose, but if the one you are connecting to doesn't have this, you're probably out of luck. — Chris Curtis, Nov 02 '18 at 19:09

Is the only difference the casing of `"Property"`? Explain your thinking behind the answer please... – Leo May 14 '19 at 11:18
Yes. you have to give specific class as per your api like 'Property', 'Media', 'Office' – NensiMakawana May 15 '19 at 04:38

Can you try your query like this,

query: "(MLNUM=W4214585)"

Just ensure the field name is spelled correctly ('MLNUM' itself or something else)

I just removed the pipe symbol ("|") from the query.
