Frequently asked questions

Ceven can monitor your Serphouse credit balance in real time using the Get Account Information tool. You can build a workflow that checks your remaining credits before launching a high volume scrape. If credits fall below a certain threshold, the agent can send a Slack alert to your team or pause scheduled tasks to prevent failures. This prevents your automated reports from breaking mid cycle due to an empty balance. The agent simply treats credit levels as a conditional trigger in your workflow logic.
Yes. You can schedule a daily workflow in Ceven that uses the Schedule SERP Tasks action to pull rankings for your target keywords. Once the task status is marked as complete, the agent pulls the results and compares them to the previous day. If a ranking shifts by more than two positions, the agent can automatically update a Google Sheet or create a ticket in Jira for your SEO team to investigate the change.
Live search is for instant results where the agent waits for the response immediately. This is best for one off queries or low volume checks. Scheduled tasks are asynchronous, meaning the agent tells Serphouse to start the search and then checks back later. This is the only way to get more than the standard first page of results. Ceven manages this by polling the task status endpoint until the data is ready for retrieval.
Yes. Serphouse supports a wide array of languages and geographic locations. Ceven can pull the full language and location lists to ensure your requests use the correct codes. You can build a multi regional workflow where the agent runs the same keyword search across ten different countries and languages, then aggregates the results into a single global performance report for your international marketing team.
One specific quirk of the Serphouse Trends API is that results are processed asynchronously. Unlike a simple search, you cannot always get trend data in a single call. You must first schedule the trend search, wait for the processing window to close, and then call the results endpoint. Ceven handles this latency by creating a multi step sequence that waits for the status to reach completed before attempting to pull the actual trend data.
The agent uses the Google Jobs Search tool to pull current listings based on your criteria. You can set up a workflow that monitors job postings for specific competitors. When a competitor posts a new role for a specific skill set, like Cloud Architect, the agent can notify your sales team that the competitor is expanding their technical capabilities in a new region, providing a strategic lead.
Absolutely. While most people focus on Google, Serphouse provides data for Bing and Yahoo. You can create a cross engine comparison workflow in Ceven. The agent pulls the top ten results from all three engines for a single keyword and highlights which sites are appearing across all three, helping you identify the most authoritative pages in your niche regardless of the search engine used.
Ceven stores your Serphouse API keys using AES 256 encryption at rest. The keys are only decrypted in memory at the moment the agent makes a request to the Serphouse API. No other users or external systems have access to these credentials. You can rotate your keys in the Serphouse dashboard at any time and simply update the value in your Ceven connection settings to restore service.
