VulDB

Verified Jul 2026

VulDB's API queries its long-running vulnerability database for entries, exploits, and (on enterprise plans) real-time cyber threat intelligence, returning results as JSON, XML, or CSV depending on the requested format. Every account starts with a decaying daily credit trial (50 credits down to 5) that's meant to expire into a paid plan, with commercial packages sold in 200-credit blocks and enterprise tiers unlocking 10,000 credits plus multi-year archive access. The stored URL pointed at a legacy ?doc.api query page that now Cloudflare-challenges automated requests; corrected to the current /kb/api documentation path, which loads cleanly.
