Glossary

When integrating with the API, you may encounter different names for the same core concepts depending on whether you are reading the API schema or using the Advite Dashboard.

Below is a breakdown of the terminology and their synonyms:

Namespace (Workspace)

• Console Term: Workspace
• API Resource Name: Namespace (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId})
• Description: The top-level logical container for all your resources, billing details, and team members. Every API resource you create must belong to a Namespace.

Manager (Monitor)

• Console Term: Monitor
• API Resource Name: Manager or Feed Manager (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId}/managers/{managerId})
• Description: The AI agent configured to scan platforms for relevant activity based on a simplified goal and seed URLs.

Scan (Match / Alert)

• Console Term: Match or Alert
• API Resource Name: Scan (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId}/managers/{managerId}/scans/{scanId})
• Description: A specific post or piece of content identified and extracted by your Monitor as matching your target criteria.

Connection (Webhook / Integration)

• Console Term: Connection
• API Resource Name: Connection (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId}/connections/{connectionId})
• Description: An external communication integration. This includes raw HTTP endpoints (Webhooks), Slack Channels, or email digests.

Feed / Source Stream

• Console Term: Managed by the Monitor
• API Resource Name: Feed (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId}/feeds/{feedId})
• Description: The underlying raw content stream. This represents the specific query or scraper configured on a social platform (like a list of subreddits or keyword searches). While you can manage Feeds manually, your Monitor (Manager) typically creates and configures Feeds automatically behind the scenes.

Genius / AI

• Console Term: Managed by the Monitor
• API Resource Name: Genius (e.g., namespaces/{namespaceId}/geniuses/{geniusId})
• Description: The underlying AI model and prompt instruction engine. It translates high-level monitor rules and targets into an operational Feed. Much like Feeds, Geniuses are created and managed automatically by your Monitor (Manager), requiring no manual developer interaction.
