# What is a source?

A source is where SociableKIT will get the data. SociableKIT pulls data from each source separately, and pricing is based on the number of sources you use.

**How sources are counted?**

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

If you want to pull posts from your Instagram and X (Twitter) account, that's **2 sources** = **1 for Instagram** and **1 for X widget**.

If you're pulling posts and jobs from the same LinkedIn company page, that's also **2 sources**. Even though they come from the same company 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: 

* eBay listing - [eBay Item ID](https://www.ebay.com/str/swedenidea)
* LinkedIn Profile posts - [LinkedIn Profile ID](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikedalisay/)
* YouTube Playlist (Single Playlist) - [YouTube Playlist ID](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLykC1VN7NY&list=PLFs4vir_WsTwEd-nJgVJCZPNL3HALHHpF)
* Airbnb reviews - [Airbnb room ID](https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/34740409)
* Avvo reviews - [Avvo Lawyer ID](https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/10006-ny-megan-goddard-998372.html)
* Airbnb Profile reviews - [User ID](https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/651767529)
* Apple app store reviews - [App store ID](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-by-google/id422689480)
* Eventbrite events - [Eventbrite ID](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/creative-edge-events-56174738743)
* Etsy Shop - [Etsy Shop ID](https://www.etsy.com/shop/EllieBellieCandle)
* Yelp reviews - [Yelp ID](https://www.yelp.com/biz/julianas-brooklyn-3)

Account #1 widgets:

1. LinkedIn Profile posts - [LinkedIn Profile ID](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikedalisay/) (Source ID: mikedalisay)
2. LinkedIn Profile posts - [LinkedIn Profile ID](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikedalisay/) (Source ID: mikedalisay)

Total source : 1 

Account #2 widgets:

2. LinkedIn Profiel posts - [LinkedIn Profile ID](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates/) (Source ID: williamhgates)

> *As you can see, Account #1 has 1 total source, while Account #2 has 2 total sources, even though both accounts have the same number of widgets.*
