Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🔗 CVEs Search API Scraper Actor Programmatically query the CVE vulnerability databases for historical vulnerabilities, packages vulnerabilities, and detailed CVE record files. This Actor connects to a high-performance Cloudflare Worker edge gateway to perform CVE keyword searches and fetch CVE specifications directly from Mitre and CISA databases. It saves results to both the Apify dataset (for bulk downloads) and the default Key-Value Store under the `OUTPUT` key (for single-record integrations). --- ### 🌟 Key Features * **Vulnerability Keyword Search**: Search CVE descriptions and names matching phrases like `drupal`, `wordpress`, `log4j`, `openssl`. * **Vulnerability Record Details**: Retrieve full CVE JSON schema v5 records containing CVSS scores, affected packages, versions, vendors, and references. * **CISA ADP Vulnrichment**: Integrates SSVC, KEV status, and coordinator remediation credentials. * **Structured Auditing**: Saves complete raw JSON outputs under the Key-Value Store `OUTPUT` key for easy scripting. --- ### 📥 Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | Prefill Example | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Endpoint Action** | `string` | Choose the operation: `search` or `details`. | `search` | | **Search Query** | `string` | The keyword or product name to query (e.g. `drupal`). | `drupal` | | **CVE ID** | `string` | The target CVE ID to look up (e.g. `CVE-2026-9082`). | `CVE-2026-9082` | | **From** | `integer` | Pagination offset (for search). | `0` | | **Size** | `integer` | Number of records to return (for search). | `250` | | **Sort Property** | `string` | Parameter to sort search results (default `cveId`). | `cveId` | | **Sort Order** | `string` | Order of sorting: `desc` or `asc`. | `desc` | #### Input JSON Example ```json { "endpoint": "search", "q": "drupal", "from": 0, "size": 10 } ```` *** ### 📤 Output Data Structure #### Output JSON Example (Search) ```json { "success": true, "data": { "total": 1250, "hits": [ { "_index": "cve-index2-prd", "_id": "CVE-2026-9082", "_source": { "dataType": "CVE_RECORD", "dataVersion": "5.2", "cveMetadata": { "cveId": "CVE-2026-9082", "state": "PUBLISHED" }, "containers": { "cna": { "title": "Drupal core - Highly critical - SQL injection", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Drupal", "product": "Drupal core" } ] } } } } ] } } ``` *** ### 💳 Monetization & Cost This Actor utilizes the **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model on the Apify Store: - **Event Name**: `cve-scan` - **Price per event**: **$0.005** per successful execution. # Actor input Schema ## `endpoint` (type: `string`): Choose which search operation to execute. ## `q` (type: `string`): The product or keyword to scan (e.g. 'drupal'). Required when endpoint is 'search'. ## `cveId` (type: `string`): The target CVE code to retrieve details for (e.g. 'CVE-2026-9082'). Required when endpoint is 'details'. ## `from` (type: `integer`): Pagination offset for keyword searches. ## `size` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return (up to 250). ## `sortProperty` (type: `string`): Sorting parameter key. ## `sortOrder` (type: `string`): Sorting order direction. ## Actor input object example ```json { "endpoint": "search", "q": "drupal", "cveId": "CVE-2026-9082", "from": 0, "size": 250, "sortProperty": "cveId", "sortOrder": "desc" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `keyValueStoreResult` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "endpoint": "search", "q": "drupal", "cveId": "CVE-2026-9082", "from": 0, "size": 250 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dev00/cves-search-apify").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
