Frequently asked questions

Ceven maintains a persistent connection to the Benzinga websocket endpoints for earnings and news. When a packet arrives, the agent parses the ticker and event type in real time. If the event matches a trigger you defined in your workflow, Ceven executes the downstream actions immediately. This means you do not have to poll the API every few seconds. The system handles the handshake and reconnection logic automatically, ensuring that no market moving headlines are missed during brief network interruptions. You can configure the agent to only trigger on high importance events to avoid noise in your notification channels.
Yes. The Get Economics action allows you to filter by an importance score. This is critical for reducing noise during slow market days. You can set your Ceven workflow to only alert you when an event is marked as high importance, such as a Federal Reserve interest rate decision or a major employment report. The agent pulls the actual value, the consensus estimate, and the prior value, then compares them to highlight the delta. This allows you to automate a summary that explains why a specific economic print is causing market volatility in your specific portfolio.
Ceven can track these changes using the Get Removed News tool. If a workflow relies on a specific set of articles for a sentiment report, the agent can periodically check for removals to ensure your data remains accurate. This is useful for compliance and auditing where you need to know if a piece of market moving information was retracted or corrected. The agent logs the removal timestamp and notifies the owner of the workflow so the internal record can be updated to reflect that the original source material is no longer available in the Benzinga database.
Ceven pulls both individual analyst ratings and the aggregate consensus. When a new rating is published, the agent can compare the new price target against the existing consensus to determine if the move is a significant outlier. For example, if the consensus target is 150 and a new rating comes in at 200, the agent can flag this as a high conviction move. This data is then pushed into your CRM or a Slack channel, providing the context of the rating action and the specific analyst firm responsible for the update.
One specific quirk to be aware of is that Benzinga often maintains multiple versions of their endpoints, such as the earnings calendar v2.1. Ceven is configured to use the most stable and feature rich version available, but some legacy workflows might refer to older data structures. Additionally, Benzinga employs strict rate limits based on your specific API tier. If your Ceven agent exceeds the requests per second allowed by your plan, Benzinga will return a 429 error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, queuing the requests and retrying them to ensure no data is lost.
Yes. By using the Get Conference Calls tool, the agent searches for upcoming calls based on the tickers in your watch list. It extracts the webcast url and the scheduled start time. You can build a workflow that automatically adds these calls to your Google Calendar and sends a reminder email one hour before the start. The agent can also look for historical calls to retrieve archives for research purposes, allowing you to build a library of past management commentary linked directly to the ticker in your internal database.
For stocks with limited coverage, the Get Consensus Ratings tool will return the available data points without an aggregate if a minimum threshold of analysts is not met. Ceven is programmed to recognize these gaps. Instead of providing a potentially misleading average based on one analyst, the agent will report the specific number of analysts providing targets. This ensures that your investment decisions are based on a statistically significant sample of professional opinions rather than a single outlier rating that could skew the perceived sentiment of a small cap stock.
Ceven can retrieve historical news and ratings using the date range filters provided by the Benzinga API. While the websocket is for real time events, the standard GET endpoints allow the agent to walk back through a specified time window. This is particularly useful when onboarding a new portfolio to the platform and you want to analyze the news sentiment of the last thirty days. The agent handles the pagination of the news results, gathering all relevant articles and organizing them by timestamp before feeding them into your analysis workflow.
