Agent Control Center, Proxies, and APIs

Can I schedule an agent to run automatically?

• Yes! Once you have built and tested an agent, you will Publish the agent to the Control Center, where you will be able to set up a schedule and run your agent automatically. See Scheduling the Agent for more information.

How do I know what my agent did? Was the run successful, or did it fail?

• The Control Center is the part of Sequentum Cloud that provides a view of all your agents. You can see the status of the latest run, as well as drill into the full run history of each agent. See Sequentum Cloud Control Center for details.

How do proxies work in Sequentum Cloud?

• A proxy (or proxy server) is an intermediary between a user's device and the internet, acting as a gateway that allows users to access websites or services indirectly by routing their requests through the proxy. The user's actual IP address is replaced by a proxy or a list of proxies, which can be rotated with each page load based on the user's requirements.
  All agents that are running on Sequentum Cloud will be using one of the two types of proxy service that we offer. Our standard proxy is a Data Center Proxy. This is a pool of IP addresses associated with a data center. These IPs can be rotated, but they can be identified and blocked by sites that are trying to prevent web scraping.
  If you find that you need a higher level of proxy service, you can switch to our Residential Proxy service. A residential proxy pool consists of a wide array of residential IP addresses that can be rotated to help avoid blocking. The residential proxy service is a premium service with associated higher costs.

What APIs does Sequentum Cloud offer?

• At launch, Sequentum Cloud does not offer any API services. We do expect to launch API services in the next few months.
