AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Keyring Social Importers is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Import category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Beau Lebens — established developer track record
Cons

How Keyring Social Importers works
Show full descriptionShow less
Please read about each importer before running this plugin.
This package of social importers provide you with the ability to pull in your content that gets created on other sites, and re-publish it on your own WordPress site. Rather than leaving others in control of everything you’ve put time and effort into, why not host it yourself on your one true, home-on-the-web, WordPress? Read more about this technique/approach to data ownership.
After an initial import, all of these importers can also optionally check each hour and automatically download new content as well, keeping things in sync over time. They all currently import as Posts, with specific Post Formats, depending on the content type.
Importers included currently:
Delicious
Fitbit
Flickr
Foursquare/Swarm
Instapaper
Jetpack/WordPress.com
Moves
Nest Cameras
Strava
TripIt
You can potentially write your own importers as well, using the base class included.
Importers Common Features
If you select to ‘auto-import new content’, all importers will check once per hour for new content.
All posts created by the importers are associated with a taxonomy called keyring_service, which allows you to filter/select them. Appears in wp-admin as “Imported From” under the Posts menu.
Every attempt is made to download/store as much data as possible, and use it intelligently (e.g. tags).
Raw import data is stored in a custom field (raw_import_data) as a json_encode()ed string.
Delicious
Every bookmark from your Delicious account is imported as a post.
All imported posts are marked with the ‘link’ Post Format.
delicious_id and the href/link itself are saved as custom fields.
Tags used on Delicious are used in WordPress.
Fitbit
Very basic for now, just imports your data and creates a simple summary post.
Summary post only contains a statement about how many steps you took that day.
Flickr
Every photo in your Flickr account is downloaded (the actual, original image) and imported into your Media Library.
For every photo, a Post is created and published, containing that one image (and it is attached within WordPress).
Posts are marked with the ‘image’ Post Format.
Posts are created with the publish date matching the ‘Taken’ date of the photo. The modified date (of the Post) is set to the ‘Upload’ date from Flickr.
There is no support/handling of Galleries, Sets or anything else in Flickr, just one Post per photo.
Tags used on Flickr are used on WordPress.
If available, geo data is downloaded and stored per the WordPress Geodata guidelines.
flickr_id and the full URL to the photo page are stored as custom fields.
Foursquare
Imports each check-in on Foursquare as a separate Post.
Marks those Posts with the ‘status’ Post Format.
foursquare_id plus geo lat/long are stored as separate custom fields, per the WordPress Geodata guidelines.
Each photo on your Instagram account is downloaded and imported into your Media Library.
For every photo, a Post is created and published, containing that one image (and it is attached within WordPress).
Posts are marked with the ‘image’ Post Format.
The name of the filter used is stored as instagram_filter, the URL to the photo page is stored as instagram_url.
Instapaper
Imports your Archived links and creates a post for each of them (with post format of Link).
Uses the title from the document in Instapaper, if there is a description associated then it uses that as well.
NEW: Downloads the full content of the article using Instapaper’s API, and stores that in the post content, so that you can search it later. Disable it by creating a stub plugin, or dropping this in your theme’s functions.php; add_filter( ‘keyring_instapaper_download_article_texts’, ‘__return_false’ );
Jetpack/WordPress.com
Import posts from either self-hosted, or hosted copies of WordPress, via the Jetpack/WordPress.com API.
Post author is always overridden.
Tags, content, title, excerpt are all carried over.
Moves
Imports your data daily.
Creates a summary post, which is a bulleted list detailing each category of activity for the day.
Stores raw and summary data for further processing.
Nest (Camera)
Allows you to pick hours of the day to take snapshots from your cameras.
You can pick anything between no snapshots, or one every hour, per camera.
Each snapshot will be downloaded directly into your Media Library.
Each snapshot will also be published as a Post (with post type of “image”) using the Author/Category/Tag options you select.
If you click the “Check For New Content Now” button, when configured for auto-import, then all cameras with at least one scheduled snapshot will take one right now, regardless of what time they’re scheduled (good for verifying that things work, or taking a specific snapshot for whatever reason).
Does not require a Nest Aware subscription, since the relatively infrequent snapshots are under request limits.
NEW: This is a new addition, and is pretty rough still. Not recommended for production sites.
Imports every individual pin as a post (can be a LOT), with a Post Format of “image”.
Stores the image for each pin in your Media Library.
Imports links and creates a post for each of them, with the Link post format.
Uses as many details (e.g. title) as possible from Pocket.
Strava
Activities are imported as new Posts.
* Activity type is stored as post meta for easier querying.
GPS data is stored as an encoded polyline if available. [https://github.com/emcconville/google-map-polyline-encoding-tool](Google Maps Polyline Encoding Tool) has been tested to work well with the data.
Stores raw and summary data for further processing.
Currently does NOT download any media or support People & Places.
TripIt
Trips are imported, with flights mapped and posted as Status-format posts.
Geo data is stored using something resembling the WordPress Geodata guidelines.
Posts are tagged using airport codes and city names.
Now supports paging through the API to avoid timeouts on accounts with lots of trip data.
Every tweet will be downloaded as an individual Post.
Posts are marked with the ‘aside’ Post Format.
If available, geo data is downloaded and stored per the WordPress Geodata guidelines.
Twitter_id and twitter_permalink are stored.
If your tweet contains #hashtags, they are applied as tags within WordPress.
“Entities” are expanded (URLs are not t.co, they are the real/final URLs).
