aggregator

Gathers many sources

An aggregator is a service, platform, or tool that collects content or data from multiple sources and presents it in one place.

News aggregators pull headlines from various publications; price aggregators compare costs across retailers; feed aggregators gather blog posts or social media updates.

I use an aggregator to keep up with all my favorite podcasts.

The term extends to businesses that consolidate services or products from different providers, such as travel aggregators that bundle flights and hotels.
