Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Iqair Airvisual integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Iqair Airvisual 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 Iqair Airvisual data, across all 10 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements an intelligent queuing system to respect the rate limits associated with your IQAir AirVisual API tier. Depending on whether you are on a community or professional plan, the number of calls per minute varies. If a workflow attempts to pull data for hundreds of cities simultaneously, Ceven will stagger the requests to avoid 429 errors. You can configure your agent to cache air quality data for a set period, such as fifteen minutes, to reduce the total number of API calls while still maintaining a high level of accuracy for your environmental monitoring needs.
Yes. You can build a workflow where a specific AQI threshold from IQAir AirVisual acts as a trigger. For example, if the AQI for a specific city exceeds 150, Ceven can send a webhook to your building management system to increase air filtration. This allows you to move from simply viewing data to taking automated action. The agent handles the polling of the IQAir AirVisual API and only fires the downstream action when the condition is met, saving you from building a custom integration for every single air sensor.
The agent is designed to handle location mismatches gracefully. If a request for a city fails, Ceven will automatically use the List Cities and List States actions to find the closest matching nomenclature recognized by the IQAir AirVisual API. If no match is found, the agent will notify you through the workflow log and suggest using the Get Nearest City Air Quality action with GPS coordinates instead. This ensures that your automation does not simply break but instead attempts to resolve the location discrepancy using available API tools.
The data provided by IQAir AirVisual is near real time, but there is a slight propagation delay depending on the station type. Government stations may update less frequently than private AirVisual sensors. Ceven displays the timestamp of the last update provided by the API so you know exactly how fresh the data is. For critical health alerts, we recommend setting a buffer in your workflow logic to account for this lag, ensuring that your responses are based on the most recent available data point provided by the vendor.
While IQAir AirVisual has one of the largest networks, not every small town has a dedicated station. In areas without a physical station, the API provides estimated data based on nearby stations and satellite imagery. Ceven can be configured to tell you if the data point is coming from a physical station or an estimate. This is important for users who require high precision for regulatory compliance or scientific research where estimated data may not be sufficient for official reporting purposes.
The IQAir AirVisual API has specific limitations on the volume of historical data returned in a single call. To retrieve a full year of data, Ceven automatically breaks the request into smaller chunks, such as monthly or weekly windows. The agent then aggregates these responses into a single dataset for your analysis. This prevents timeout errors and ensures that you get a complete record of pollution levels without having to manually manage the pagination or date range constraints of the underlying API.
When you use the Get Nearest City Air Quality action with an IP address, Ceven passes that IP to the IQAir AirVisual geolocation service. The API then returns the air quality for the city associated with that IP. Note that IP geolocation is not always perfectly accurate and may point to a regional data center rather than the user actual location. For high precision needs, we recommend using the GPS coordinate path, which allows the agent to find the closest physical monitoring station for the most accurate AQI reading.
Ceven connects to the current stable version of the AirVisual API. One quirk of the AirVisual API is that certain endpoints, like world rankings, may have different access levels based on your API key permissions. If you receive an access denied error for a specific action, it is likely because your current IQAir AirVisual plan does not include that specific endpoint. You can check your plan details in the IQAir dashboard and upgrade if you need global ranking data for your automated reports.
