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

The BF Description API generates a BF Description from the BF Tokens of provided BF Vulnerability Specification.

• BF Vulnerability Specifications with Generated Description → Key required:

  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFVUL/BFDescription?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);
  
  using var content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
  var file = new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(fileName));
  content.Add(file, "file", Path.GetFileName(fileName));
  
  using var response = await client.PostAsync("BFVUL/BFDescription/api", content);        
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
  var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
