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
- LinkedIn Profile posts - LinkedIn Profile ID
- YouTube Playlist (Single Playlist) - YouTube Playlist ID
- Airbnb reviews - Airbnb room ID
- Avvo reviews - Avvo Lawyer ID
- Airbnb Profile reviews - User ID
- Apple app store reviews - App store ID
- Eventbrite events - Eventbrite ID
- Etsy Shop - Etsy Shop ID
- Yelp reviews - Yelp ID
Another example:
Account #1 widgets:
- LinkedIn Profile posts - LinkedIn Profile ID (Source ID: mikedalisay)
- LinkedIn Profile posts - LinkedIn Profile ID (Source ID: mikedalisay)
Total source : 1
Account #2 widgets:
- LinkedIn Profile posts - LinkedIn Profile ID (Source ID: mikedalisay)
- LinkedIn Profiel posts - LinkedIn Profile ID (Source ID: williamhgates)
Total sources: 2
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.
