Integration Overview

CyberSecFeed API can be integrated into your applications using any programming language that supports HTTPS requests. This section provides ready-to-use code examples in popular languages.

Available Languages​

We provide examples in the following languages:

  • Python - Using requests library and async examples
  • JavaScript/Node.js - Using fetch and axios
  • Go - Using standard library and custom clients
  • PowerShell - For Windows automation
  • cURL - Command-line examples

Common Integration Patterns​

1. Simple API Client​

Basic client for making authenticated requests:

class CyberSecFeedClient:
    def __init__(self, api_key):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.base_url = "https://api.cybersecfeed.com/api/v1"

    def get_cve(self, cve_id):
        # Implementation in language-specific guides
        pass

2. Vulnerability Scanner Integration​

Integrate with existing security tools:

async function scanDependencies(packageList) {
	const vulnerabilities = [];

	for (const package of packageList) {
		const cves = await searchCVEs(package.name, package.version);
		if (cves.length > 0) {
			vulnerabilities.push({ package, cves });
		}
	}

	return vulnerabilities;
}

3. Continuous Monitoring​

Set up automated vulnerability checks:

func monitorCVEs(interval time.Duration) {
    ticker := time.NewTicker(interval)
    defer ticker.Stop()

    for range ticker.C {
        // Check for new CVEs
        // Alert on critical findings
    }
}

Key Considerations​

Authentication​

All requests must include your API key in the headers:

X-API-Key: your-api-key-here

Error Handling​

Always implement proper error handling:

  • Network errors
  • API errors (4xx, 5xx)
  • Rate limiting (quota exceeded)
  • Timeout handling

Performance​

For best performance:

  • Use connection pooling
  • Implement caching
  • Batch requests when possible
  • Handle pagination properly

Security​

  • Never hardcode API keys
  • Use environment variables
  • Implement secure key storage
  • Use HTTPS only

Getting Started​

  1. Choose your preferred language
  2. Copy the example code
  3. Replace the API key placeholder
  4. Customize for your use case

Each language guide includes:

  • Basic setup
  • Simple examples
  • Advanced patterns
  • Best practices
  • Error handling
