Frequently asked questions

When you provide a URL to the Extract News action, the agent sends that link to the World News API engine. The engine parses the HTML of the page, identifies the main content area, and strips away ads, navigation bars, and footer noise. It then returns a structured JSON object containing the headline, the full body text, the primary image URL, and the original publish date. This allows you to push the actual content of a news story into a database or a summary tool without having to deal with raw HTML scraping or custom regex for every different news site you track.
Yes. One of the most powerful features available through Ceven is the News Website to RSS Feed tool. Many local news sites or niche industry blogs do not provide a native RSS feed for users. By providing the URL of the page, World News API creates a virtual feed that monitors the page for changes and new links. Ceven can then poll this generated feed on a schedule and trigger your chosen workflow whenever a new article is detected, effectively turning any static news page into a real time data source for your agent.
The API supports over 50 languages across 150 countries, which covers the vast majority of global news. However, the quality of extraction and search can vary based on the language. For widely used languages like English, Spanish, and Chinese, the clustering and extraction are highly accurate. For rare dialects or languages with complex scripts, the agent might return less structured data. If you are monitoring a region with very limited digital footprints, the agent will search all available indexed sources but may return fewer results than for major metropolitan news hubs.
Geographic filtering is a two step process. First, you use the Get Geo Coordinates action to turn a city or region name into latitude and longitude. Once the agent has these coordinates, it passes them into the news search parameters. This allows for much more precise filtering than simple country codes. For example, instead of searching for all news in the United States, you can center a search on a specific city and define a radius. This is critical for tracking local events like zoning changes or regional protests that affect specific assets.
Yes. World News API enforces strict rate limits based on your subscription tier. If a Ceven workflow attempts to extract hundreds of articles in a very short window, you may encounter a 429 Too Many Requests error. To prevent this, Ceven implements an internal queuing system that staggers requests to stay within your plan limits. If you frequently hit these limits, you will need to upgrade your plan directly with the vendor. Be aware that some high volume endpoints, like the full text extraction, may consume credits faster than simple search queries.
Clustering is used in the Get Top News action to prevent your workflow from being flooded with twenty different versions of the same story. The API analyzes headlines and content across multiple sources to group similar stories into a single cluster. When Ceven pulls top news, it identifies the most representative article from that cluster. This ensures that your intelligence reports are concise and that you see the general consensus of a news event rather than seeing the same breaking story repeated for every single news outlet that covered it.
Yes. You can use the Search News Sources action to verify if a specific publication is monitored. Once confirmed, you can include that source in your search queries. This is useful when you only trust a few high authority publications for certain types of intelligence. If a source is not currently monitored, the agent cannot pull data from it. However, you can often circumvent this by using the News Website to RSS Feed tool to create a custom tracking mechanism for that specific site regardless of its official index status.
The index is updated in near real time as news sources publish new content. However, there is a slight propagation delay between the moment an article is published on a website and when it becomes searchable via the API. This delay is usually a matter of minutes. For the most urgent needs, using the Extract News tool with a direct URL is the fastest path because it fetches the page content on demand rather than waiting for the global index to crawl and categorize the new article into the search database.
