BF Taxonomy API

//Exclusive Rights Only//

The current BF Taxonomy comprizes the BF Input/Output Check(_INP), Memory Corruption/Dusclosure (_MEM), and Data Type (_DAT) Class Types and the BF Failure (_FLR) Class Type.

The BF Taxonomy API queries BF and generates the corresponding BF Bug/Weakness Classes in machine-readable (XML, JSON) formats.

• BF Classes → Key required:
  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFTaxonomy.xml?key=YOUR_KEY
  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFTaxonomy.json?key=YOUR_KEY

• Programatically → Key required:
  

  C#
  

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient() { BaseAddress = new Uri("https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF") };
  
  //replace YOUR_USER_NAME and YOUR_KEY
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("user", YOUR_USER_NAME);
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("key", YOUR_KEY);
  
  //result in XML
  var responseXML = await client.GetAsync("BFTaxonomy.xml/api");
  responseXML.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();        
  var resultXML = await responseXML.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  
  //result in JSON
  var responseJSON = await client.GetAsync("BFTaxonomy.json/api");       
  responseJSON.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();         
  var resulJSON = await responseJSON.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
