REES v0.1 · draft

Changelog & proposals

REES changes in the open. Versions are permanent: a feed that is valid against v0.1 stays valid against v0.1 forever.

Versioning

  • Each version has its own schema URL, e.g. /standard/rees/v0.1/schema.json. Published schemas are never edited.
  • 0.x versions are drafts: fields may still change between them. 1.0 will be the first stable version.
  • After 1.0, minor versions only add optional fields; anything else is a major version.

v0.1 — draft (September 2026)

  • Feed envelope: publisher, generation time, licence, listings, developments, delta (since) and paging (next).
  • Money with ISO currency and basis (total, per m², from, range, per period, on request).
  • Measures with explicit units; coordinates with precision.
  • Provenance on any value: source, date, confidence.
  • Legal block: title status, survey, tax exemption (e.g. CONFOTUR), foreign-buyer rules.
  • Developments as their own objects; units linked by development_id.
  • Licence and listing-office fields; three conformance levels; a 31-term feature vocabulary.

Being considered for v0.2

  • A push API (POST with a signed webhook) for publishers who prefer sending to being polled.
  • Short-term-rental fields: licence number, calendar URL, nightly rates by season.
  • Price history events inside the feed.
  • Hurricane-resistance and construction fields (roof type, impact windows, elevation).
  • A signed-feed option so receivers can verify a feed came from its publisher.
