BF Graphs API
Irena Bojanova, Inventor/Creator, PI & Lead, NIST Bugs Framework (BF), 2014 – ~~~ #

The BF Graphs API generates and BF Vulnerability Specifications in graphical formats.

• BF Vulnerability Specification Graphs → Key required:
  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFVulnerability/ppt?key=<code>YOUR_KEY</code>

• Programatically → Key required:
  

  C# - simplified

  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);
  
  //replace YOUR_FILES_NAMES
  string[] fileNames = YOUR_FILES_NAMES;
  
  var fileContent = new MultipartFormDataContent();
  foreach (var fileName in fileNames)
      fileContent.Add(new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(fileName)), "files", Path.GetFileName(fileName));
  
  var response = await BFClient.SendRequest("BFVulnerability/ppt/api", HttpMethod.Post, fileContent);
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
  var zipData = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
  
  //replace YOUR_FOLDER
  zipData.CopyTo(File.Create(Path.Combine(YOUR_FOLDER, "bfv.zip")));
  

  Python

  //to be added//
