Embed a widget in another platform
You can integrate a Topic Insights widget from your Listening project into another platform to share and stay on top of your social listening results outside of Hootsuite.
Listening generates a format-specific URL that you can use to display the widget on social media, on your website, in a Hootsuite stream, and more. The widget URL connects back to the Talkwalker API, so you always have an up-to-date snapshot of the results you want to track or share.
Listening supports the following platforms and formats for embedding most Topic Insights widgets:
- Social media: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest
- File formats: PNG, HTML, JSON, XML, CSV
- Other apps: Tableau, Analytics API, Domo
You cannot embed the Results and Most engaging posts widgets in social media platforms, but you can embed them in an RSS feed or a Hootsuite stream.
Note: If you're embedding a widget as an HTML page, the domain or subdomain on which you're embedding the widget must be added to the Talkwalker allowlist. Please contact Customer Support for help.
