WPVULNDB API
The WPScan Vulnerability Database API is provided for users and developers to make use of our database within their own non-commercial software. All we ask is that if you use this API within your non-commercial software is to credit us accordingly.
The API carries no warranty, no guarantee of its uptime and we reserve the right to change any aspect of the API at our own discretion at any time.
If you are going to make heavy use of our API please inform us first. We monitor API access and we will block any IPs, without warning, who we believe are abusing it.
If you are under any doubt if your software is classed as non-commercial and/or would like to inquire about commercial usage of our databases get in touch.
To use the API you need to register a user and get the API token from your profile page. You have to send this API token with every request in the Authorization HTTP Header.
