Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Ip2Location integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Ip2Location 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 Ip2Location data, across all 8 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Ip2Location 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 Ip2Location, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Ip2Location is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Ip2Location.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Ip2Location action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven monitors your credit balance using the dedicated credit check tool. When your Ip2Location credits fall below a threshold you define in the workflow, the agent can send a notification to your team or trigger a billing alert. If credits hit zero, API calls will return an error. You can build a workflow that checks credits every morning and pings a Slack channel if the balance is too low to support your expected daily traffic. This prevents silent failures in your security or routing pipelines. Once you top up your Ip2Location account, the agent resumes processing requests immediately without needing a reconnect.
Yes. You can create a workflow where Ceven sends every new session IP to the Ip2Location geolocation tool. The agent reads the country code from the response and compares it against your block list. If a match is found, the agent can call your firewall API or update a user record in your database to restrict access. This allows for fine grained control over geographic access without writing custom code for every country change. You can also set up a whitelist for trusted regions to ensure that your core team always has access regardless of their current location.
The single lookup tool is designed for real time requests where you need an immediate answer for one user. The bulk lookup tool allows you to send up to 1000 IP addresses in a single API call. This is significantly more efficient for processing log files or auditing a list of sign ups from the previous day. Ceven handles the batching logic for you, so if you provide a list of 5000 IPs, the agent will automatically split them into five separate bulk requests. This ensures you stay within the API limits while processing large datasets quickly.
Yes. The Ip2Location proxy detection tool specifically identifies if an IP is a known TOR exit node, a public proxy, or a commercial VPN. This is critical for security workflows where you want to flag users who are intentionally masking their identity. Ceven can use this data to trigger different authentication flows. For example, a standard user might just need a password, but a user flagged by Ip2Location as using a TOR node might be required to complete a CAPTCHA or provide a phone number for verification before they can access sensitive account settings.
Yes. Ip2Location enforces strict tier gating based on the plan you purchase. Some accounts have lower rate limits on the number of requests per second, and certain data fields like city or ISP may be restricted to higher paid tiers. If the agent attempts to pull a field that your specific Ip2Location plan does not support, the API will return a null value or an error. You should verify your plan features in the Ip2Location dashboard. If you notice missing data in your Ceven workflows, it is likely because that specific data point is gated behind a higher subscription level.
The distance calculator uses the latitude and longitude coordinates associated with the IP addresses in the Ip2Location database. It calculates the great circle distance between these two points. It is important to remember that IP geolocation is an estimation. While country level data is nearly perfect, city level coordinates can vary depending on how the ISP announces their IP blocks. The distance calculated by the agent is the distance between the registered center points of those IPs, not the exact physical location of the device. This is usually sufficient for fraud detection or regional routing but not for precise GPS tracking.
Ceven uses the Ip2Location WHOIS lookup tool to pull registration details for any domain. This includes the registrar, registration date, and sometimes the contact information of the owner. When you find a suspicious IP, the agent can first find the domains hosted on that IP and then run a WHOIS lookup on those domains. This creates a full profile of the entity you are investigating. For example, if you see a spike in traffic from an IP, Ceven can tell you that the IP hosts ten different phishing domains all registered through the same provider in the last forty eight hours.
Yes. Ip2Location fully supports both IPv4 and IPv6 lookups. Ceven is agnostic to the IP version and will pass the address to the API as provided. Whether your logs contain legacy IPv4 addresses or modern IPv6 addresses, the agent will retrieve the same level of geolocation and proxy data. This ensures that your security and analytics workflows remain effective as more of your users migrate to IPv6. You do not need to create separate workflows for different IP versions as the Ip2Location API handles the versioning internally and returns a consistent data format.
