Frequently asked questions

Supadata specializes in converting messy HTML into clean markdown. When Ceven triggers a scrape, the API strips away the navigation bars, footers, and script tags that usually confuse large language models. This process ensures that the resulting text is dense with actual information and formatted in a way that preserves the hierarchy of headers and lists. Because the output is markdown, the AI can easily distinguish between a main title and a supporting paragraph. This makes it ideal for building knowledge bases or training custom agents on specific documentation without needing to write custom CSS selectors for every single website you want to index.
The platform provides deep integration for the most popular video sharing sites. You can pull transcripts and metadata from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. It also supports direct video file uploads for transcription. Ceven uses these endpoints to monitor social trends by analyzing what is being said in viral clips. The agent can take a list of URLs from these platforms and run them through a batch process, creating a structured database of talking points. This allows you to track sentiment or keyword frequency across different platforms without ever having to open a browser or manually transcribe a single second of audio.
Yes, Supadata employs tier based rate limiting that depends on your current subscription plan. If you trigger a massive website map or a hundred video transcriptions in a single burst, you may encounter a 429 Too Many Requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will automatically pause and retry the request after a short delay. However, for very large scale enterprise migrations, it is recommended to stagger your workflows over several hours. Users on the free tier will notice much tighter constraints on the number of concurrent requests allowed per minute compared to paid plans.
No, Supadata can only access content that is publicly available on the web. It cannot bypass login screens, paywalls, or private account settings on platforms like Instagram or YouTube. If a video is set to private or unlisted without a direct link, the API will return an error indicating that the content is unreachable. For gated websites, the scraper cannot enter a username and password to retrieve data. You must ensure that the URLs you provide to Ceven are accessible to a public web crawler for the extraction to be successful. This is a hard limitation of the API architecture.
The Website URL Map tool acts as a recursive crawler. It starts at the provided root domain and follows internal links to discover all available pages. Ceven uses this to build a comprehensive index of a site before starting a deep scrape. This is particularly useful for SEO audits where you need to find orphaned pages or analyze the site architecture. The tool identifies the structure of the site and returns a list of URLs that the agent can then process individually. For extremely large sites with millions of pages, this process can take significant time and may be subject to the rate limits mentioned previously.
Metadata refers to the data about the video, such as the title, view count, upload date, channel name, and tags. Transcription is the actual spoken word converted into text. When you use Ceven with Supadata, you can choose to pull just the metadata if you are doing a quantitative analysis of channel performance, or you can pull the full transcript for qualitative content analysis. Often, the most powerful workflows combine both, using metadata to filter for the most popular videos before spending credits to extract the full text of the transcript for a detailed summary.
The markdown conversion is designed to keep the most critical structural elements of a page. This includes hyperlinks, bold text, italics, and list formats. While it does not render the images themselves, it typically preserves the image alt text and the source URL in standard markdown format. This allows the AI to understand that an image exists and what it represents without having to process the actual pixels. This balance of stripping the clutter while keeping the context is what makes the output so effective for feeding into a prompt for summarization or data extraction tasks.
Supadata supports multiple languages for transcription by leveraging advanced speech to text models. When Ceven requests a transcript, the API attempts to detect the language automatically. If the video has official captions provided by the creator, the system prioritizes those for higher accuracy. If no captions exist, it generates an automated transcript. While the accuracy is very high for major global languages, the quality can vary for rare dialects. In these cases, the agent can be instructed to flag transcripts with low confidence scores for human review to ensure the final analysis remains accurate.
