Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Swaggerhub integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Swaggerhub 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 Swaggerhub data, across all 44 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

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

  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the permissions granted to the API key or OAuth token you provide during the connection process. If the connected account has an administrator role, Ceven can manage access control for other users and teams. If it is a read only account, the agent will only be able to pull definitions and list versions. We recommend using a dedicated service account with the minimum required permissions for your specific workflows to maintain a strong security posture. You can verify exactly what the agent can see by running a list resource types and roles action to see the available roles within your specific organization.
Yes. By using the lifecycle settings and version management tools, Ceven can check the current status of an API version and trigger a status update when certain conditions are met. For example, you can build a workflow where a version is only published after a GitHub pull request is merged and a linting tool confirms the OpenAPI spec is valid. The agent handles the transition from a draft state to a published state by calling the appropriate SwaggerHub API endpoints, ensuring that your developer portal always reflects the most stable and approved version of your interface.
Ceven can pull definitions in either format. Most developers prefer YAML for readability and manual editing, while automated tools often require JSON for parsing. You can specify which format the agent should request from SwaggerHub based on the downstream tool you are using. If you are pushing a spec to a mock server, the agent typically pulls the JSON definition. If you are sending a spec to a human for review via Slack or email, the agent pulls the YAML version to ensure it is easy to read and comment on.
Ceven does not store a permanent mirror of your API definitions; it fetches them in real time. If a version is deleted in SwaggerHub, any workflow attempting to pull that specific version will receive a 404 error. You can build error handling into your Ceven workflows to alert the team when a dependency is missing. For critical production paths, we recommend using the get API default version action rather than hard coding version numbers, so the agent always pulls the current valid version regardless of whether older versions were purged.
Yes. SwaggerHub imposes rate limits on its API to ensure platform stability. If a Ceven workflow attempts to pull hundreds of definitions in a very short window, you may encounter 429 Too Many Requests errors. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will automatically wait and retry the request. However, for extremely large organizations with thousands of API versions, we recommend scheduling your sync workflows during off peak hours or using the get organization projects tool to batch your requests more efficiently.
Ceven can interact with the SwaggerHub Portal API to manage products and attachments. This means you can automate the process of adding technical documentation or PDF guides to a product page. The agent can pull a list of current portal products, check for missing attachments, and then upload the necessary files from your cloud storage. This ensures that your external developers always have the latest documentation without a portal manager having to manually upload files every time a small change is made to the API spec.
In SwaggerHub, domains allow you to share common schemas across different APIs. Ceven can pull these domain definitions and map them to the APIs that reference them. This is particularly useful for maintaining consistency across a large organization. If a core data model changes in a domain, Ceven can identify every API that uses that domain and notify the respective owners. This prevents breaking changes from leaking into production by creating a visibility layer that shows exactly how a change to one shared schema impacts the rest of your API ecosystem.
Ceven is highly effective for governance. You can create a workflow that periodically scans all APIs in an organization to ensure they have a description, a version number, and a designated owner. If the agent finds a specification that is missing these required fields, it can automatically create a ticket in Jira or send a message to the designer in Slack. By automating the audit process, you ensure that your API catalog remains clean and searchable without requiring a human to manually review every single specification in the repository.
