Some examples on the Security Update API page are wrong about msrc-microsoft-security-updates-api HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for keen eye, Matt! The APIs accept two forms of authentication, API keys and access tokens. The option to use access tokens in the Authorization header is for internal use only today (it only accepts tokens from the Microsoft AAD tenant).

I'll update the help to omit that part of the samples.

Hi @mattfoster ,
The problem is in the web page of https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/developer
Microsoft Security Update API
The Microsoft Security update API is a RESTful API that allows customer to obtain Microsoft security update information. Sample code is available on the Microsoft Security Updates API Github repository which demonstrates how to query this API for automation and reporting purposes.

Hi @IrootGeek,

I didn't have any problems getting an API key, I just signed in and it worked when I hit the button. Maybe someone from Microsoft can help you.

The last part of this thread runs along side issue #15.

In regards to the original issue, we do not maintain the portal page. Issues pertaining to that can be posted here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-us/home?forum=securityupdateguide

But yes, you don't have to worry about the Authorization header.

Here's an example of a curl command that worked.

curl -v -X GET -o ms_cvrf.xml "https://api.msrc.microsoft.com/cvrf/2017-Sep?api-version=2016-08-01" -H "api-key: ###############"
