CVEDB: common questions

Is CVEDB free to use?

Yes — CVEDB is a free security API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does CVEDB need an API key?

No — CVEDB needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call CVEDB from the browser?

Not directly — CVEDB doesn't send browser-friendly CORS headers, so call it from a server or proxy instead. Copy the curl or Python snippet on this page to get started.

Is CVEDB up right now?

CVEDB is catalogued but not yet on our probe schedule, so we don't publish a live status for it. Check the provider's own status page or docs for its current state.
