What does Feed mean?

A feed is a continuously updated stream of content or data that is automatically passed between systems or shown to users. The meaning depends on context. On social media, it refers to the stream of posts, videos or other content a user sees on the home page. In e-commerce, the term product feed is often used: a structured file containing product information such as name, price, availability, URL, image or product identifier. Such a feed can be used to connect an e-shop to price comparison sites, ad systems, marketplaces or other services. Feed data should be updated regularly to match the e-shop's current offer.
