Juicer terminology glossary

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.

Written by Mario T.

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.

Mentions source:

  • A source type that collects posts about a brand, product, or topic from across a social network, rather than from a single account you own.

  • Mentions work in one of two ways, depending on the network:

    • Keyword search (TikTok, Reddit)—you enter a word or phrase, and Juicer collects public posts whose text matches it, whether or not they use a hashtag or tag anyone.

    • Account tag (X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)—you point Juicer at an account or Page, and it collects posts that tag or @mention it.

  • Both are used for brand monitoring and user-generated content. The difference is the starting point, a keyword versus an account.

  • Availability and plan requirements vary by network. See each source's own help article and our pricing page.

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

Plans and add-ons

Add-on:

  • A paid extra you can buy from your billing settings to expand your plan's limits—more monthly views, an extra feed, an extra source—or to unlock specific features like the Autoscroll display mode.

  • Add-ons sit on top of your existing plan, apply at the account level, and can be cancelled at any time.

  • See Juicer add-ons: extra views, feeds, and sources for the full list, pricing, and cancellation behaviour.

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

Social network API:

  • The system each social platform (Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, and others) exposes for Juicer to fetch posts on your behalf. Each one has different features and restrictions, which is why some post types or sources behave differently from network to network.

Juicer API:

  • Juicer's own public API for building integrations on top of your feeds and social data—create feeds, manage sources, and query social posts programmatically. Available on every plan. See The Juicer API.
