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

The BFCVEs Partial API generates datasets of partial BFCVE Specifications based on the NVD CVE-to-CWE and CWE2BF mappings.

• Partial BFCVE Specifications → Key required:

  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFCVEPre.xml?key=YOUR_KEY
  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFCVEPre.json?key=YOUR_KEY

• Queried by CVE ID, CWE ID, CVSS; or BF Class taxon values: Class Tyoe, Class, Operation, Cause, and Conseqeunce– e.g., :
  

  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFCVEPre.xml?class=MUS&key=YOUR_KEY
  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFCVEPre.json?class=MUS&key=YOUR_KEY

  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("BFCVEPre.xml/api");
  responseXML.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();        
  var resultXML = await responseXML.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  
  //result in JSON
  var responseJSON = await client.GetAsync("BFCVEPre.json/api");       
  responseJSON.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();         
  var resulJSON = await responseJSON.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  

  Python
