Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native ZenRows integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right ZenRows 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 ZenRows data, across all 14 of its actions.
  2. Managed auth

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

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

Frequently asked questions

Ceven leverages the built in proxy management of ZenRows. When an agent triggers a scrape action, ZenRows automatically rotates the IP address and handles the handshake with the target server. You do not need to configure proxy lists or manage rotation logic within your Ceven workflow. The agent simply sends the request and ZenRows ensures it reaches the destination without being flagged as a bot. If a request fails due to a block, the agent can be configured to retry using a different ZenRows premium proxy setting to ensure the data is captured successfully.
Yes. Ceven can instruct ZenRows to enable JavaScript rendering for any specific URL. This is critical for modern single page applications built with React or Vue where the content does not exist in the initial HTML source. By enabling the render parameter, ZenRows boots a headless browser, executes the scripts on the page, and returns the fully rendered DOM to the Ceven agent. This allows you to scrape dynamic content, interact with elements, and capture data that is only visible after the page has fully loaded in a browser environment.
Raw HTML returns the entire source code of the page, which requires you to use a second step in your workflow to parse the data using regex or a parser. Autoparse uses ZenRows machine learning to identify the most important data points on a page, such as product names, prices, and descriptions, and returns them as a structured JSON object. Use autoparse when you want to move quickly and do not want to maintain CSS selectors. Use raw HTML when you need absolute control over every single piece of data extracted from the page.
Some websites track user journeys and will block you if you jump between different IP addresses too quickly. Ceven uses the ZenRows session ID feature to pin your requests to a single IP address for a window of ten minutes. When the agent starts a multi step scrape, it requests a session ID and attaches it to every subsequent call. This makes the traffic look like a single user browsing the site. This is essential for scraping sites with complex pagination or checkout flows where state must be preserved across several different pages.
The limit is determined by your specific ZenRows plan tier rather than Ceven. Each plan has a concurrency limit which dictates how many requests can be processed at the exact same millisecond. If your Ceven workflow triggers one hundred simultaneous requests but your ZenRows plan only allows ten concurrent calls, ZenRows will return a 429 error for the excess requests. You can use the Get Concurrency Status action within Ceven to monitor your available slots in real time and build a queue system to pace your requests.
Yes, this is a core part of the integration. ZenRows identifies when a CAPTCHA is present and uses its internal solving services to bypass it before the page content is returned to Ceven. The agent never sees the CAPTCHA; it only receives the successful response from the target page. This happens automatically in the background. If you are hitting a particularly difficult site, you can enable premium proxies in the action settings to increase the success rate of the bypass for high security targets.
Ceven does not charge you for the credits used within ZenRows. You are billed directly by ZenRows based on your plan and the type of requests you make. Note that some requests cost more than others. For example, a simple HTML request uses fewer credits than a request that requires JavaScript rendering or premium proxies. You can build a monitoring workflow in Ceven that calls the API usage statistics tool every hour and sends you an alert if your credit balance drops below a certain threshold.
Ceven acts as the orchestrator that moves data from ZenRows to your destination. While the data passes through the workflow context during execution, Ceven does not act as a permanent database. You should configure your workflow to send the output of a ZenRows action to a permanent store like Google Sheets, Airtable, or a SQL database. This ensures that your scraped data is archived and available for long term analysis after the specific agent run has completed its task.
