Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Kadoa integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Kadoa 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 Kadoa data, across all 77 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

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

Create workflow
Use this to set up a new data extraction pipeline by defining the target URLs and the desired data schema.
Run ad hoc extraction
Extract data from a specific URL immediately using a template or schema ID. Use for one time data pulls.
Start crawl session
Initiate a web crawling session with specific configuration parameters to discover and collect pages.
Get crawl status
Check the progress of an active crawl session using the session ID to see if it is still running.
Get crawled page content
Pull the raw HTML or Markdown of a page from a specific crawling session for deeper analysis.
Get latest workflow data
Retrieve the most recent structured data produced by a specific workflow ID.
Post validation rule
Add an AI driven data quality rule to a workflow to ensure the extracted data meets specific criteria.
Enable data validation
Turn on validation rules for a workflow to enforce data integrity on every run.
Configure workflow monitoring
Set up monitoring for a workflow to detect when data on the target page changes.
Create notification channel
Set up a new channel to receive alerts when workflows finish or validation fails.
Subscribe to webhook events
Create a webhook channel and link it to specific events to push data to other apps.
Get workflow run history
Pull a list of past execution records for a workflow to audit performance and data volume.

Get Notification Setting
Tool to retrieve a specific notification setting by its identifier. Use when you need to fetch notification configuration details by ID.
Get validation configuration
Tool to retrieve the configuration settings for data validation. Use when you need to inspect validation and linking settings for a specific workflow.
Get Workflows
Tool to retrieve all workflows. Use when you need to list and filter workflows after authenticating.
Get Workflow Validation Results
Tool to retrieve the latest validation results for a workflow job. Use after a workflow job completes to inspect its validation outcome.
List Validation Rules
Tool to list all data validation rules with optional pagination and filtering.
Create Advanced Workflow
Tool to create an advanced workflow. Use when you need a valid advanced workflow ID before updating steps.
Create Notification Setting
Tool to create a notification setting linking channels to events. Use when subscribing workflows or workspace level notifications to specific events.
Post Notification Test
Tool to send a test notification event. Use when verifying your notification channel configurations.
Post Workflow Validation Rule

Frequently asked questions

When a Kadoa workflow run fails its validation rules, Ceven catches the event through the notification system. The agent then retrieves the validation results to identify exactly which field failed, such as a missing price or an invalid date format. Depending on your settings, the agent can either alert you via Slack, attempt to refine the extraction prompt to fix the error, or simply skip that record to prevent dirty data from entering your database. This ensures that only high quality data moves forward in your business process.
Ceven leverages Kadoa's extraction capabilities to handle various site structures. However, for sites with complex authentication like multi factor auth or heavy bot detection, you must first configure the session headers or cookies within the Kadoa dashboard. Once the session is authenticated and the workflow is active in Kadoa, Ceven can trigger the runs and process the data. The agent manages the orchestration, but the underlying browser session permissions are handled by the Kadoa infrastructure.
This is where Kadoa monitoring is critical. Ceven can be configured to watch for data changes or validation drops. If a site layout changes and the extraction starts returning null values, Kadoa triggers a validation failure. Ceven detects this failure and can notify you immediately. Because Kadoa uses AI to map data, often a simple update to the prompt or schema is all that is needed. You can use Ceven to update the workflow configuration without writing new code.
The limits are determined by your Kadoa subscription tier rather than Ceven. Kadoa enforces credits per crawl and limits on concurrent sessions. If you hit a rate limit, the Kadoa API returns a specific error code which Ceven interprets as a throttle signal. The agent will then queue the remaining requests and retry them using an exponential backoff strategy to ensure no data is lost while staying within your account limits.
An ad hoc extraction is a synchronous call. Use this when you need data from a single page right now and do not need to monitor it over time. A workflow is an asynchronous, managed pipeline. Workflows include scheduling, monitoring, and validation rules. Ceven uses ad hoc extractions for quick lookups and workflows for recurring data feeds. If you find yourself running the same ad hoc extraction frequently, you can ask the agent to convert it into a permanent Kadoa workflow.
Yes. Kadoa allows you to specify the location from which the request originates to bypass regional blocks. Ceven can pull the list of all available locations and then assign a specific location to a crawl session based on the target website. For example, if you are scraping a French retail site, the agent can set the location to France to ensure the page renders correctly and provides the local currency and language before extracting the data.
Data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. When Ceven calls the Kadoa API to fetch results, it uses your secure API key. We do not store the scraped content permanently unless it is part of a specific workflow state required for your automation. Once the agent pushes the data to your final destination, like a Google Sheet or a database, the transient data in the workflow layer is cleared. You maintain full control over the data retention settings within your Kadoa account.
Absolutely. Ceven can configure Kadoa to send a webhook notification the moment a workflow completes or a validation rule is triggered. Instead of polling the API every hour, Ceven listens for these events. When the webhook hits the Ceven endpoint, it triggers the rest of your automation immediately. This allows for real time competitive pricing updates or instant lead alerts the second a new listing appears on a target website.
