Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Browseai integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Browseai 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 Browseai data, across all 11 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

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

Run Robot
Use this to trigger a specific robot to scrape a page on demand. Provide the robot id and any required input parameters.
Bulk Run Tasks
Launch up to 50000 tasks using a single robot. Use this for large scale data harvesting across many URLs.
Create Monitor
Set up a recurring schedule for a robot to check a page. Define the frequency and interval for automatic runs.
Create Webhook
Set up a listener that notifies Ceven the moment a robot finishes a task or detects a change on a page.
Get Robots List
Pull a list of all trained robots in your account to identify which one to use for a specific scraping task.
Get Robot Tasks
Retrieve a paginated list of all executions for a specific robot, including status and captured data.
Get Task Details
Pull the full results, screenshots, and metadata for a single task execution using the task id.
Delete Monitor
Remove a scheduled monitor from your account using the monitor id to stop recurring charges or noise.
Delete Task
Clean up your task history by removing specific task records by id.
List Robot Inputs
Pull the required parameters for a robot to ensure the workflow provides the correct URL or search term.
Update Monitor Schedule
Change how often a robot checks a page by updating the monitor interval.
Check Task Status
Query the current state of a running robot task to see if it is pending, running, or completed.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
Delete a specific task
This tool allows you to delete a specific task in browseai by its task id. it is used for cleaning up completed or failed tasks, managing resources, and maintaining your task list.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven does not provide Browse ai credits. You must have an active Browse ai subscription with sufficient credits for the robots and monitors you trigger. When a workflow calls a Run Robot or Bulk Run action, it consumes credits directly from your Browse ai account. If your credit balance hits zero, the Browse ai API will return an error, and the Ceven workflow will stop and notify you that the integration is paused due to insufficient credits. We recommend setting up credit alerts within your Browse ai dashboard to avoid unexpected interruptions in your data pipelines.
Ceven uses the Browse ai API to trigger tasks, so it relies on the native capabilities of the Browse ai robot. Browse ai has built in tools to handle many common CAPTCHAs and bot detection systems. If a robot fails because of a sophisticated firewall or a new CAPTCHA challenge, you will see a failure status in the Get Task Details action. In these cases, you should go to the Browse ai dashboard to retrain the robot or adjust the proxy settings before triggering the workflow again from Ceven.
The frequency depends on the monitor settings you configure via the Create Monitor action. Browse ai supports various intervals from every few minutes to daily. However, you should be aware of the Browse ai rate limits on their API. If you trigger bulk tasks too rapidly or create hundreds of monitors that fire simultaneously, you may hit their global API rate limit, resulting in 429 errors. Ceven implements a retry logic with exponential backoff to handle these temporary spikes, but for extremely high volume needs, you should contact Browse ai support for a limit increase.
Ceven acts as a bridge. When a robot completes a task, Ceven pulls the data from the Browse ai API and passes it to the next step in your workflow, such as a Google Sheet or a database. We do not store the scraped content in a permanent database for our own use. The data exists in the workflow execution logs for a limited time so you can debug errors. If you need a permanent archive of the scraped data, ensure your workflow includes a write action to a storage tool of your choice.
Yes, provided you have trained the robot to handle the login flow in the Browse ai dashboard first. Browse ai allows you to record a session where you log in, and it saves those cookies for the robot to use in future runs. When Ceven triggers that robot, it uses those saved credentials to access the protected pages. If the session cookies expire or the site requires a new multi factor authentication code, the task will fail, and you will need to refresh the session manually in Browse ai.
When a website changes its structure, the Browse ai robot may no longer find the elements it was trained to extract. This will result in a task failure or empty data fields. Ceven can be configured to monitor for these failures. You can set up a workflow where a failed Browse ai task triggers an alert to your team, prompting a developer to go into Browse ai and retrain the robot on the new layout. Once the robot is updated in the dashboard, the Ceven workflow will resume working immediately.
There is no limit within Ceven on the number of robots you can use. You are only limited by the plan you have with Browse ai. Whether you have five robots or five hundred, Ceven can interact with any of them as long as you provide the correct robot id. For organizations with a very large number of robots, we recommend using the Get Robots List action to dynamically find the right robot based on a naming convention rather than hard coding IDs into every single workflow step.
When you use the Create Webhook action, Ceven provides a unique endpoint that Browse ai calls whenever a task finishes or a monitor detects a change. This allows your workflow to be event driven rather than polling. For example, instead of checking every hour if a price dropped, Browse ai pushes the data to Ceven the second it happens. This saves credits and reduces latency. You can manage these webhooks through the Browse ai dashboard or via the Ceven manage actions to ensure the data is routing to the correct workflow version.
