What is a source?

A source is a specific combination of platform type and account/profile. SociableKIT pulls data from each source separately, and pricing is based on the number of sources you use.

How sources are counted?

Each unique platform-type-and-account pair counts as one source. Here are some examples to make this clear:

If you're pulling Instagram posts from your profile and tweets from your Twitter profile, that's 2 sources - one for each platform.

If you're pulling posts and jobs from the same LinkedIn page, that's also 2 sources. Even though they come from the same page, "posts" and "jobs" are different data types, so each one is its own source.

The same applies to Google. Google business posts and Google reviews from the same profile count as 2 separate sources because the data comes from different feeds.

Similarly, if you're pulling the same data type from different accounts, each account is its own source.

For example:

• LinkedIn page posts for Company A = 1 source
• LinkedIn page posts for Company B = 1 source
• Google reviews for Company A = 1 source
• Google reviews for Company B = 1 source
• Instagram profile for Company A = 1 source

Total: 5 sources

The simple rule: every unique combination of data type + account = 1 source.
