Retrieve information for multiple CVEIDs in one API request

[Niall Buckley]

Looking through the API documentation, there does not appear to be a way to bulk query multiple CVEs in one request, meaning that many requests are required to look up a large amount of CVEs. Is there currently a way to do this through the API or could it be implemented?

From the gui you are correct; for the API have a look at the query endpoint; looking at the PostBodyRequest model you'll find the dict_filter field which can be used to query multiple CVE's. If you are looking for a CLI way; have a look at cve-search/CveXplore repo

Thanks for the reply. I managed to query multiple CVEs at once through the API using the /api/query endpoint that you mentioned. It does put each returned CVE inside a nested array, which isn't ideal but can be worked with.

POST /api/query?format=json
