nvd-api-client

NVD API 2.0 client for CVE information.

Based on NVD's suggested Best Practices: https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/start-here

Developed for and forked from the Ubuntu CVE Tracker.

Configuration

Configure path to local NVD mirror by creating an INI file located in ~/.config/nvd-api-client.conf similar to:

As of 2024-04-05 a local mirror requires 1.7G of space. Download a clone from nvd-mirror.
