No open issues Usage stats: 4 sites Module features and usage This module embeds an aggregated social media feed from Juicer.io directly into Drupal as a configurable block. It natively supports content from Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok, Bluesky, YouTube, and more.

To use this module, you will need an active account on Juicer.io. They offer both free and paid tiers depending on how many sources you want to aggregate and how frequently you need the feed to sync. The module is created and maintained by the official Juicer.io team. That should ensure that the module is closely aligned with the product's features and any potential API changes over time. The embedded feed is made available as a Drupal blo
