Feed and display

Feed (also called "embeddable feed"):

  • The grid of social posts that appears on your website. Other companies sometimes call this a "board", "wall", or "widget".

  • You can display the same feed on as many web pages as you like.

  • Some Juicer plans allow you to build multiple feeds, each managed separately within Juicer.

  • Your feeds are listed on your dashboard, and they are seen as soon as you log in.

Embed code:

The code you copy from your Juicer dashboard (or welcome email) and paste into your webpage code to make the Juicer feed appear on your website. It contains:

  • Files that allow Juicer to load on the page.

  • Styling information.

  • A unique feed-id code for each Juicer feed.

Content sources

Source:

  • A single social media account (like @YourUsername on X (Twitter)) or a single hashtag from one social network (like #YourHashtag on Instagram) displayed within your Juicer feed.

  • A source occupies one slot in your "Social Media Sources" panel.

  • The number of available sources varies by plan level. See our pricing page for current limits.

Social Account:

  • A connection between Juicer and an account on a social platform (Facebook, Instagram, and others) that authorizes Juicer to fetch posts on your behalf.

  • Some source types require a connected Social Account—for example, Instagram username sources or Facebook page sources.

  • You manage Social Accounts on the Social Accounts page in your Juicer dashboard.

🎯 Key relationship: A feed is a collection of one or more sources. Access to some sources requires connecting a Social Account.

Management and updates

Dashboard:

  • The page within your Juicer account where you manage everything about a Juicer feed, including its sources, moderation and filtering, and aspects of its design.

Update frequency:

  • How often your Juicer feed fetches the latest posts from your sources. The frequency depends on your plan level. See our pricing page for current refresh rates.

  • Our Enterprise plan allows you to control the refresh rate of each feed separately.

Technical terms

API (Application Programming Interface):

  • The system Juicer uses to obtain social posts from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, and others. Each API has different features and restrictions.

  • For details on Juicer's own API, see our API page (login required).
