Feeds & Syncing
A feed is a connection between FeedSpring and a source like Instagram, Google Reviews, TikTok, Dribbble or YouTube. Once connected, FeedSpring keeps your content updated automatically.
What is a feed?
A feed represents a single source of content.
For example:
An Instagram account
A Google Business location
A TikTok profile
A Dribbble user
A YouTube channel
Each feed contains:
Profile data (name, avatar, follower count)
Content (posts, reviews, videos, shots)
How syncing works
FeedSpring regularly checks your source and updates your feed.
When new content is published:
It is fetched by FeedSpring
Stored and processed
Made available to your site
You don’t need to manually refresh anything.
When does content update?
Updates depend on your plan and feed type.
In general:
New content is synced automatically
Most feeds update within minutes to hours
Your site always displays the latest available data
What gets synced
FeedSpring syncs structured data from each platform.
This includes:
Content
Images and videos
Captions and descriptions
Review text
Metadata
Timestamps
Likes, views, ratings
Tags and categories
Profile data
Name

Follower counts
Each platform provides slightly different data.

Where your data is used
Once synced, your feed can be used anywhere:
Websites (HTML, Webflow, Framer)
React applications
API requests
All delivery methods use the same underlying feed data.
Filtering and control
Feeds generally display content from newest to oldest as provided by the source service. While the sort order cannot typically be changed, you can control which content appears by:
This includes:
Limiting the number of items
Skipping specific posts
Applying keyword filters (Available for Google Reviews)
Some controls are applied:
In your layout (e.g. limit)
In your dashboard (e.g. filtering rules)

This means:
You control how your content looks
FeedSpring handles the data and updates
