/cvrf/all shows more results than /oval/all  ?

Hello Community,

just played around with the API to find the best solution for me.

I was wondering that calling /cvrf/all shows a lot more advisories than /oval/all.

Downloading /cvrf/all is 790KB size and /oval/all only 40KB when using XML.

Am i doing something wrong or shows CVRF more products, where is the difference ?

regards,

Hi Kai,

Please check this openVuln API /advisories/<oval|cvrf>/all/ does not return all results

Hi Andrei,

yes, thanks, just found it too, should have searched before posting.

So i will download both CVRF and OVAL to get the most amount of Information, my tool doesn't care ;-)

Is there also a difference when choosing JSON or XML or it is just a different Format ?

regards,

Kai Lohse

I'm not sure about XML/JSON but as for CVRF/OVAL, you may need to download both and combine the results, i.e. CVRF and OVAL lists may not overlap, so it's safer to combine them.

Thanks for the fast and helpful Response

No problem!
