Agentql

Turns any website into a structured data API, extracting precise information into JSON and automating browser interactions without fragile selectors.

Standard

Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Agentql integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Agentql calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Agentql data, across all 3 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Agentql access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Agentql, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Agentql is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Agentql.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Agentql action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Agentql, and when to use it.

Query data
Use this to pull structured JSON from a web page. Provide a URL and a natural language prompt or AgentQL query to extract specific elements.
Create remote browser session
Use this to launch a headless browser on remote infrastructure. This is required before performing complex multi step web interactions.
Get usage details
Pull the current API key usage, remaining credits, and billing period dates to avoid workflow interruptions.
Extract page text
Pull all visible text from a page for LLM processing when structured queries are too rigid.
Navigate to URL
Tell the remote browser to load a specific web address before running a data query.
Click element
Use this to interact with a button or link on a page using a natural language description of the element.
Type text
Enter text into a form field or search bar on the active remote browser page.
Wait for element
Pause the workflow until a specific piece of data or a UI element appears on the page.
Take screenshot
Capture a visual snapshot of the current browser state for auditing or verification.
Close browser session
Terminate the remote browser instance to free up resources and stop billing for that session.
Search web page
Find specific strings or patterns within the current page HTML to verify content exists.
Get page source
Pull the raw HTML of the current page for deep debugging or custom parsing.

Frequently asked questions

Traditional scraping relies on CSS selectors or XPaths which break the moment a website updates its layout or changes a class name. AgentQL uses a semantic query language and AI to understand the meaning of page elements. Instead of telling the agent to find a div with a specific ID, you tell it to find the price of the item. The system identifies the correct element based on visual and structural context. This means your workflows are resilient to UI updates and you spend zero time updating selectors when a website redesigns its homepage.
Many modern websites are single page applications that require JavaScript to render content. A simple HTTP request cannot see this data. AgentQL provides remote browser sessions which are fully functional headless browsers running on their cloud infrastructure. This allows Ceven to interact with the page exactly like a human does, including clicking buttons, waiting for elements to load, and handling cookies. By offloading the browser to AgentQL, you do not have to manage your own proxy servers or browser drivers to get accurate data.
AgentQL provides the infrastructure to interact with pages, but it is not a dedicated CAPTCHA solving service. While their remote browsers use high quality residential IPs to reduce the chance of being flagged, some sites with extreme security may still trigger challenges. For these cases, you should implement workflows that include human in the loop checkpoints. The agent can notify you when a CAPTCHA is encountered, allowing you to solve it manually in the session before the agent resumes the structured data extraction process.
Rate limits depend on your specific AgentQL subscription tier. One specific quirk of the platform is that remote browser sessions are billed based on duration and concurrency. If you attempt to launch too many simultaneous sessions on a starter plan, you will receive a concurrency limit error. To avoid this, design your Ceven workflows to use sequential processing for large lists of URLs rather than parallel execution. Always use the Get usage details tool at the start of a large batch to ensure you have enough credits.
Data is transmitted over encrypted channels. When Ceven uses AgentQL, the remote browser session is isolated and ephemeral. Once the session is closed, the browser instance is destroyed and no session data is persisted on the AgentQL side. Your API keys are stored encrypted at rest within Ceven and are only used to authorize requests to the AgentQL API. We never store the actual content of the pages you scrape unless you explicitly map that data into a downstream system like a database or a CRM.
Yes. You can use the remote browser session to navigate to a login page and use the Type text and Click element actions to enter credentials. Once the session is authenticated, the agent can navigate to protected pages and extract data as the logged in user. For better security, we recommend using session cookies or tokens if the site supports them, which can be injected into the browser session to avoid sending raw passwords through the workflow multiple times.
Yes. The remote browser sessions can be configured to emulate different screen sizes and user agents. This is particularly useful for websites that serve different content or layouts to mobile users versus desktop users. You can specify the viewport dimensions when creating the session to ensure the agent sees the mobile version of the site. This ensures that your data extraction queries target the elements as they appear on a smartphone, which is often a more streamlined version of the page.
The best way to optimize is to be as concrete as possible. Instead of asking for the price, ask for the current retail price excluding tax. Using the AgentQL query language allows you to be more precise than natural language. We recommend testing your query in the AgentQL playground first to verify the JSON structure. Once the query is stable, paste it into the Ceven action. This ensures the agent does not hallucinate the structure and always returns the exact keys your downstream database expects.
