Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements a smart queuing system to ensure your workflows do not hit the rate limits imposed by News API. Depending on your plan, News API has strict daily request caps. Our agent tracks the number of calls made within a twenty four hour window and will automatically stagger requests or alert you when you are approaching your limit. If a request returns a 429 error, the agent enters a back off period and retries the call once the window resets. This prevents your automation from breaking silently during high volume news events when you might be running multiple search queries across different keywords.
No. News API provides the title, description, and a short content snippet, but it does not provide the full body text of the article due to copyright and licensing restrictions from the publishers. When Ceven pulls an article, it retrieves the URL. If your workflow requires the full text for deep analysis, you can chain a News API action with a web scraping tool or a reading service. The agent will take the URL from News API and then use the secondary tool to extract the main body of the page, ensuring you have the complete data needed for a comprehensive summary or sentiment analysis.
The search window depends on your News API account tier. For most users on the developer plan, the Everything endpoint allows searching back about one month. If you have a paid enterprise plan, this window expands significantly. Ceven respects these limits and will notify you if a requested date range falls outside your plan permissions. To maximize your data, we recommend setting up real time monitors that save relevant articles to a permanent database as they arrive, rather than relying on historical searches, so you build your own long term archive of industry news.
Ceven handles this by using the source filtering capabilities of News API. You can provide a whitelist of trusted domains, such as Reuters or The Wall Street Journal, and the agent will ignore all other results. Additionally, you can instruct the agent to analyze the source metadata and discard any results from domains that do not meet your specific credibility criteria. By combining the API filter with a LLM based quality check, Ceven ensures that the briefings delivered to your team are based on reputable reporting rather than clickbait or unverified social media aggregators.
News API is a pull based service, meaning it does not send webhooks. To simulate real time notifications, Ceven runs scheduled polling workflows. You can set the agent to check for new articles every few minutes. When the agent detects a new article that matches your criteria, it triggers the rest of your workflow, such as sending a Slack message or an email. Because we manage the polling frequency and the deduplication of articles, it feels like a real time stream without you having to manage the underlying API calls or the storage of seen article IDs.
Yes. News API supports a wide variety of languages. When you configure a search action in Ceven, you can specify the language code you need. The agent can pull articles in Spanish, French, German, and many other languages. If you need a consolidated report in English, Ceven can automatically route the foreign language text through a translation step before performing the summary. This allows you to monitor global sentiment on a product launch or a political event across multiple regions while only reading the final output in your preferred language.
If a source is removed from the News API index, the API will simply stop returning results from that domain. Ceven monitors the response patterns of your workflows. If a source you have specifically whitelisted stops appearing in the results over a period of time, the agent can flag this as a potential issue. You will receive a notification that a specific source is no longer providing data, allowing you to update your source list or find an alternative publication to ensure your competitive intelligence remains comprehensive and uninterrupted.
Yes. Because different outlets often syndicate the same wire story, you will see duplicate headlines. Ceven handles this by maintaining a temporary cache of article URLs and titles for each workflow. Before the agent pushes a notification to your team, it checks the new results against the cache. If the URL is a match or if the headline is nearly identical to one processed in the last few hours, the agent will skip that entry. This ensures your communication channels stay clean and you only see unique pieces of information rather than the same story from ten different publishers.
