If you're wondering what an embeddable feed or a source is, we cover it here. This glossary will help you navigate Juicer's terminology with ease.

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. Up-to-date information can always be found here.

Social Connector:

  • A method of confirming you have rights to access certain account data (e.g., Instagram) or social networks (e.g., Facebook).

🎯 Key Relationship: A feed is a collection of one or more sources. Access to some sources must be granted through Social Connector authentication.

Management and Updates

Dashboard:

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

Update frequency:

  • This is how often your Juicer feed fetches the latest posts from your sources. This frequency depends on your plan level. Up-to-date information on refresh frequencies can always be found here.

  • Our Enterprise plan allows users 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, etc. Each API has different features and restrictions.

  • You can learn more about our features on our API page.
