Frequently asked questions

Ceven leverages the specific country and language endpoints provided by Autom to ensure that the search results are authentic to the target region. When you specify a country like Japan or a language like French, the agent first validates the code using the Google Countries and Languages tools before executing the search. This prevents query failures and ensures that the results returned are exactly what a local user in that region would see. The agent can iterate through a list of regions to provide a comparative view of how a brand appears globally, which is essential for international SEO and market research tasks.
Yes. While Autom provides a snapshot of the search engine results page at the moment of the request, Ceven adds the persistence layer. You can set up a scheduled workflow that calls the search tool every day or every hour and saves the results to a database. The agent then compares the current ranking of your target URLs against the previous snapshot. If a keyword drops from position two to position ten, the agent can trigger an alert in your communication tool. This allows you to monitor volatility without manually refreshing the browser.
Autom imposes specific rate limits based on your current subscription tier which can lead to 429 errors if you trigger too many concurrent requests. Ceven manages this by implementing a queue system that paces the API calls to stay within your plan limits. If you are on a free or entry level tier, you may notice a slight delay in large batch searches as the agent throttles the requests to avoid being blocked. For users needing thousands of requests per minute, upgrading your Autom plan is necessary to unlock higher concurrency levels.
Autom focuses on the search engine results page, meaning it provides the titles, snippets, and URLs that appear in the search list. It does not crawl the destination website itself. To get the full content of a page, you would use the Autom tool to find the URL and then pass that URL to a separate web scraping tool within Ceven. This two step process is more efficient because it allows the agent to filter for the most relevant links first before spending credits or time downloading the entire content of multiple web pages.
Autom provides comprehensive support for Google, Bing, and Brave. Depending on the specific tool you call within a Ceven workflow, you can switch between these providers to cross reference results. This is particularly useful for verifying the accuracy of a search result or seeing if certain content is suppressed on one platform but visible on another. The agent can be configured to query all three simultaneously and then deduplicate the resulting list of URLs to give you a master list of the most authoritative sources for any given topic.
One of the primary benefits of using Autom through Ceven is that Autom handles all the infrastructure required to bypass bot detection. They manage the rotating proxies and CAPTCHA solving internally, so your workflow never sees a challenge screen. When the agent makes a request, it goes through Autom's optimized gateway which mimics real user behavior. This means you do not have to maintain your own list of residential proxies or integrate third party CAPTCHA solving services, as the data is delivered as a clean JSON response.
Yes, you can achieve this by using search operators directly in your query string. For example, if you tell the Ceven agent to find PDF guides for a specific software, the agent will format the request to Autom as 'filetype:pdf software guide'. Autom passes these operators directly to the search engine, and the results returned will be filtered to only include those file types. This is a powerful way to find white papers, government reports, or technical manuals that are indexed by search engines but not linked on main landing pages.
The data is as real time as the search engine index itself. When Ceven triggers an Autom request, it initiates a live call to the search engine. There is no cached database of results from last week. However, search engines themselves have a slight lag between when a page is published and when it is indexed. If you are looking for a post that was published seconds ago, it may not appear yet. For most business use cases like tracking news or pricing, the latency is negligible and provides a current view of the web.
