Get information about document by identificator

import vulners

vulners_api = vulners.VulnersApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")

import vulners

vulners_api = vulners.VulnersApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
possible_autocomplete = vulners_api.query_autocomplete("heartbleed")

Download whole database collection and work with data locally

import vulners

vulners_api = vulners.VulnersApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
all_cve = vulners_api.get_collection("cve")

Audit Windows hosts for installed security KB

import vulners

vulners_api = vulners.VulnersApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
win_vulners = vulners_api.kb_audit(os="Windows Server 2012 R2", kb_list=["KB4072650", "KB2959936", "KB2894856", "KB2896496"])
need_2_install_kb = win_vulners["kbMissed"]
affected_cve = win_vulners["cvelist"]

Audit Linux hosts for vulnerabilities (RPM/DEB based)

import vulners

vulners_api = vulners.VulnersApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")

# Example for CentOS 7
# You can use it for any RPM based OS
# Execute command: rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\\n'
# Use it as package variable input

centos_vulnerabilities = vulners_api.os_audit(os="centos", version="7", packages=["glibc-common-2.17-157.el7_3.5.x86_64"])
vulnerable_packages = centos_vulnerabilities.get("packages")
missed_patches_ids = centos_vulnerabilities.get("vulnerabilities")
cve_list = centos_vulnerabilities.get("cvelist")
