## Pricing

$25.00 / 1,000 processed vulnerability queries

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## CVE Vulnerability Intelligence Monitor

Search public CVE data by software keyword and return severity, affected products, publication dates, descriptions, and security monitoring signals.

This actor is designed for clean business-ready output. It avoids raw page dumps and returns one compact row per input with the most useful extracted signals and a short recommended next action.

### Input

Use `softwareKeywords` for the main values. Keep `maxItems` modest for quick checks, then increase it for scheduled monitoring or larger research runs.

### Output

Each dataset row includes:

- the original input and status
- a capped list of the most relevant items
- counts, dates, scores, themes, or gaps where useful
- a practical next action
- timestamps for monitoring workflows

### Common use cases

- competitor research
- lead generation
- market monitoring
- product and content planning
- security, finance, or developer ecosystem intelligence

### Pricing

Recommended Pay Per Event pricing: `processedVulnerabilityQuery` at **$0.018 per processed vulnerability query**.

Charge only when an input is processed and a dataset row is delivered.

# Actor input Schema

## `softwareKeywords` (type: `array`):

Add one or more values to process. Start with a small list, then scale once the output looks right.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Caps nested reviews, videos, repositories, packages, questions, filings, or vulnerabilities per input row.

## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Timeout for each public request in seconds.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many inputs to process at the same time.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify Proxy configuration for stricter public sources.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "softwareKeywords": [
    "wordpress",
    "nginx"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 25,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

No description

## `summary` (type: `string`):

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "softwareKeywords": [
        "wordpress",
        "nginx"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("glowing_glove/cve-vulnerability-intelligence-monitor").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "softwareKeywords": [
        "wordpress",
        "nginx",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("glowing_glove/cve-vulnerability-intelligence-monitor").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "softwareKeywords": [
    "wordpress",
    "nginx"
  ]
}' |
apify call glowing_glove/cve-vulnerability-intelligence-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,glowing_glove/cve-vulnerability-intelligence-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
