Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Scrapingbee integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Scrapingbee 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 Scrapingbee data, across all 5 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

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

Use this when you need specific fields like prices or titles from a page using extraction rules.
Fetch page HTML
Pull the full HTML markup of a page after optional JS rendering for deep analysis.
Capture page screenshot
Generate a visual snapshot of a webpage to verify layout or track visual changes over time.
Route through proxy
Fetch web content using proxy mode to avoid rate limits on the target server.
Execute stealth request
Use this when a site has heavy anti bot protections that block standard headless browsers.
Check usage stats
Pull your remaining credit balance and total request count to prevent workflow interruptions.
Extract with CSS selector
Pull a specific element from the DOM using a CSS path for targeted data harvesting.
Extract with XPath
Use XPath queries to find complex data patterns that CSS selectors cannot reach.
Render Javascript
Force the browser to execute JS before returning the HTML for dynamic sites.
Block resources
Prevent images or CSS from loading to speed up the request and save credits.
Set proxy country
Route the request through a specific country to see localized content or pricing.
Wait for selector
Tell the browser to wait for a specific element to appear before capturing the page.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven leverages the stealth proxy and residential proxy rotation features of ScrapingBee. When a standard request fails or returns a 403 error, the agent can automatically switch to stealth mode. This process mimics a real user by rotating headers and using high quality residential IPs that are less likely to be flagged by security services. The agent manages the retry logic so your workflow does not break when a target site increases its security. You can specify in your workflow whether to always use stealth mode for certain domains to ensure the highest success rate possible.
Yes. Ceven can instruct ScrapingBee to use a headless browser that fully renders Javascript before returning the final HTML. This is essential for modern web apps built with React or Vue where the initial page load is just a shell. You can configure the agent to wait for specific selectors to appear or set a custom wait time to ensure all dynamic content is present. This allows the agent to interact with the page exactly as a human would in a browser, ensuring no data is missed due to asynchronous loading.
Credits are consumed based on the complexity of the request you send through the agent. A simple HTML fetch uses one credit, but requests that require Javascript rendering or premium proxies cost more. For example, using the render JS parameter typically costs 5 credits per request. Ceven allows you to monitor these costs using the usage stats tool so you can set alerts when your balance drops below a certain threshold. This prevents your automated data pipelines from stopping unexpectedly during a critical monitoring cycle or a large backfill operation.
The limit is determined by your ScrapingBee plan concurrency limit rather than Ceven. If your plan allows ten concurrent requests, the agent will queue any additional requests to avoid receiving 429 too many requests errors. If you attempt to push more requests than your tier allows without queueing, ScrapingBee will return an error. You can scale your plan in the ScrapingBee dashboard to increase this limit, and Ceven will automatically adapt to the higher throughput capacity without requiring any changes to your existing workflow logic.
Ceven can handle authenticated sessions by passing cookies or custom headers through the ScrapingBee API. You provide the session cookies in the workflow configuration, and the agent attaches them to every request. This allows the agent to scrape pages behind a login wall as if it were your logged in browser. However, be aware that some sites have strict session timeouts or use multi factor authentication which may require you to refresh the cookies manually or use a session management tool to keep the connection alive.
If a website changes its HTML structure, the CSS or XPath selectors you defined will stop returning data. Ceven detects this when the extraction tool returns an empty result or a null value for a required field. You can set up a workflow that triggers a notification to you whenever a selector fails. This allows you to quickly update the extraction rule in the agent settings without having to rebuild the entire automation. The agent can also be told to fetch the raw HTML and send it to a model to suggest a new selector.
Yes. Through the proxy mode, Ceven can tell ScrapingBee to route requests through specific countries. This is useful for verifying localized pricing, checking regional search results, or accessing content that is geo blocked. You simply specify the country code in the request parameters. The agent handles the mapping of these codes to the ScrapingBee API. This ensures that the data you collect represents the actual user experience in that specific region, which is critical for global market research or compliance monitoring.
ScrapingBee has built in CAPTCHA solving capabilities that Ceven utilizes automatically. When the API encounters a CAPTCHA, it attempts to solve it in the background before returning the page content to the agent. This happens transparently so the workflow continues without interruption. However, some extremely advanced CAPTCHAs may still fail. In those cases, the agent will return the error code from ScrapingBee, and you can configure a fallback path, such as alerting a human or trying a different proxy type to bypass the challenge.
