Standard

Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native BigDataCloud integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right BigDataCloud 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 BigDataCloud data, across all 17 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke BigDataCloud 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 BigDataCloud, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when BigDataCloud is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses a secure API key management system to connect to BigDataCloud. When you provide your API key, it is encrypted at rest using AES 256 and is never exposed to the model or other users. The agent injects this key into the request header only at the moment of execution. You can rotate your key in the BigDataCloud dashboard at any time, and then simply update the secret in the Ceven connection settings. This ensures that your data remains private and that the agent only performs the actions you have explicitly authorized within your workflows.
Yes. You can build a workflow where Ceven calls the User Risk or Hazard Report APIs the moment a request hits your system. If the risk score exceeds a threshold you define, the agent can trigger a write action in your firewall or database to block the user or flag the session. Because Ceven operates as an orchestration layer, it can bridge the gap between the data provided by BigDataCloud and the action required in your security stack, making the entire process hands free and instantaneous.
BigDataCloud enforces strict rate limits based on your specific subscription tier. If an agent hits a rate limit, the API returns a 429 error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning it will wait and retry the request several times before finally failing. However, if you are on a free tier, you may encounter these limits more frequently during bulk operations. We recommend monitoring your usage in the BigDataCloud console and upgrading your plan if you see frequent retry delays in your workflow logs.
The accuracy of geolocation depends on the type of data being queried. IP based geolocation is generally accurate at the country and city level but cannot pinpoint a specific street address. For higher precision, you should use the Reverse Geocoding API with GPS coordinates. Ceven is designed to handle this distinction by allowing you to chain calls. For example, an agent can first try to get a general location from an IP and then request a more precise coordinate based lookup if the user has granted location permissions on their device.
Yes. The Hazard Report API specifically identifies whether an IP address is associated with a known VPN, proxy, or hosting provider. When Ceven calls this tool, it receives a structured report detailing the risk factors. You can then set up a conditional branch in your workflow. For instance, if the report indicates the user is on a VPN, the agent can automatically request additional identity verification or restrict access to sensitive financial pages to prevent fraud and maintain a higher security posture.
The User Agent Parser API takes a messy string from a browser header and turns it into clean data. Ceven uses this to categorize your traffic by device type, operating system, and browser version. Instead of storing raw strings, the agent can push these structured attributes into your CRM or data warehouse. This allows you to build reports on whether your users are primarily on mobile or desktop and which browsers are most common, all without writing any custom regex code to parse the strings yourself.
Yes, BigDataCloud supports both protocols across its network and geolocation tools. The BGP Active Prefixes API and the Network by IP Address API are specifically built to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. When you pass an IP to a Ceven agent, the agent automatically detects the format and sends it to the correct BigDataCloud endpoint. This ensures that your network analysis and security workflows remain robust as more of your global traffic shifts toward IPv6, preventing gaps in your visibility or security coverage.
