The CVE Database API is a Flask-based web service that allows users to interact with a database containing information about Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). This API provides endpoints for retrieving details of specific CVEs, fetching all CVE data, adding new CVE records, updating existing records, and deleting CVEs from the database.

To run the CVE Database API locally, follow these steps:

Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

https://github.com/Yakuta110/CVE-Database-API.git

Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies using pip:

cd CVE-Database-API

pip install -r requirements.txt

Ensure you have SQLite installed on your system. The SQLite database file (database.db) is included in the repository. If you need to create a new database, you can modify the connection string in flaskCveApi.py to point to your desired SQLite database file.

Execute the Flask application by running the following command:

flaskCveApi.py

Once the application is running, you can access the API endpoints using a tool like Postman or by making HTTP requests using curl or Python's requests library.
