Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Scrapfly integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Scrapfly 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 Scrapfly data, across all 12 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

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

Scrape URL
Use this to pull the HTML content of a specific page. Works for static sites where no JavaScript execution is needed.
Render JavaScript
Pull content from a page that requires a browser to execute JS. Use this for React or Vue sites.
Bypass Anti Bot
Use this when a site uses Cloudflare or other bot protection. It applies advanced fingerprinting to avoid blocks.
Execute Custom JS
Run a specific snippet of JavaScript on the page before extracting the HTML. Use this to click buttons or scroll.
Get Page Screenshot
Capture a visual image of the rendered page. Use this to verify layout changes or archive visual state.
Get Page PDF
Convert a rendered web page into a PDF document. Useful for saving invoices or official records.
Set Proxy Country
Route the request through a specific country proxy. Use this to see region locked pricing or content.
Get Scraping Stats
Pull current API usage and credit balance. Use this to monitor workflow costs in real time.
List Scraping Jobs
Pull a list of recently executed scraping requests and their completion status.
Cancel Scraping Job
Stop a long running render job that is taking too long to resolve.
Get Job Result
Retrieve the final output of an asynchronous scraping job once it has finished processing.
Update API Settings
Modify the default timeout or retry logic for all outgoing Scrapfly requests.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Scrapfly anti bot engine to mimic real human browser behavior. This includes rotating high quality residential proxies and managing browser fingerprints such as user agents and TLS handshakes. When the agent detects a block, it automatically escalates the request to use a more aggressive bypass mode. This ensures that the workflow does not break when a target website updates its security settings. The agent handles the retry logic and proxy switching behind the scenes so you only see the final extracted data in your workflow output without having to manage IP addresses yourself.
Yes. Ceven uses the Scrapfly execute JS action to perform interactions on the page. You can tell the agent to click a specific button, wait for a certain element to appear, or scroll to the bottom of the page to trigger lazy loading. Once the interaction is complete and the DOM has updated, the agent pulls the final HTML state. This is critical for modern web apps where the data you need is hidden behind a tab or a load more button. The agent writes the necessary JS selectors to ensure the action happens before the data extraction.
Yes. Ceven can route requests through Scrapfly proxies in various countries. This is useful for businesses that need to verify that their site looks the same in different regions or for those tracking localized pricing. You simply specify the country code in your prompt, and the agent configures the Scrapfly request to use a proxy from that specific region. This bypasses geo blocking and provides an accurate view of what a user in that country would see, which is essential for global market research or SEO auditing.
When a site layout changes, the CSS selectors used by the agent may fail. Ceven handles this by monitoring the output for empty results. If a scrape returns nothing where data was previously found, the agent triggers a recovery flow. It uses Scrapfly to take a fresh render of the page and then analyzes the new HTML structure to identify the new location of the data. The agent then suggests an updated selector to you or automatically updates the workflow mapping if you have granted it permission to do so, minimizing downtime for your data pipelines.
Your limits are determined by your Scrapfly subscription tier. Scrapfly uses a credit system where different actions cost different amounts. For example, a simple HTML request costs fewer credits than a full JavaScript render with anti bot bypass. Ceven monitors your credit balance through the API. If you hit a rate limit or run out of credits, the agent will pause the workflow and notify you. One specific quirk is that heavy rendering jobs can occasionally timeout on extremely large pages, requiring you to break the request into smaller chunks or use a more specific JS execution script.
Ceven and Scrapfly provide the tools to access public web data, but the responsibility for compliance lies with the user. We recommend reviewing the terms of service of any website you scrape and adhering to the robots txt file guidelines. Scrapfly helps you avoid being a nuisance to servers by managing request rates and using efficient proxying. You should ensure your use case complies with data privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA, especially when extracting personal information. Our platform provides the technical capability, but users must define the legal boundaries of their specific scraping workflows.
Scrapfly runs a headless browser in the cloud that fully loads the page, executes all the scripts, and then sends the resulting DOM back to Ceven. This is different from simple HTML fetching which only sees the initial source code. Because the browser is managed by Scrapfly, you do not have to manage your own Chrome instances or worry about memory leaks on your server. Ceven simply sends the URL and the rendering instructions, and Scrapfly returns the fully expanded page. This allows the AI to see the page exactly as a human user would in a modern browser.
Absolutely. Since Ceven acts as the orchestrator, any data pulled via Scrapfly can be sent to any other connected tool. For example, you can scrape a lead list from a directory, use the AI to qualify the leads, and then automatically create records in Salesforce or send a personalized email via Gmail. The data flows from the web, through the Scrapfly API, into the Ceven reasoning engine, and finally into your destination SaaS tool. This creates a seamless bridge between the unstructured web and your structured business applications.
