## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## CISA KEV Priority & Remediation Monitor

Search CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog by vendor, product, ransomware use, CWE, due date, or keyword. Export remediation-ready security data.

This independent Actor is not endorsed by CISA or DHS. It does not use CISA or DHS logos or seals.

### Try this first

Start with the example input below to find recent KEV entries associated with known ransomware use. Results are written to the default dataset with remediation dates, overdue state, and source links.

[![CISA KEV Priority & Remediation Monitor icon](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/JoHkELuyqjk6waZJX/records/icon-cisa-kev-priority-monitor.png)](https://apify.com/koalastuff/cisa-kev-priority-monitor)

#### Example output

[![Example output preview](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/JoHkELuyqjk6waZJX/records/preview-cisa-kev-priority-monitor.svg)](https://apify.com/koalastuff/cisa-kev-priority-monitor)

This preview is generated from a checked-in official-source fixture. It shows the normalized output shape without inventing live demand or results.

### Input and output

Search entries added within 1 to 3,650 days and return up to 5,000 results. Each row contains the CVE, vendor, product, vulnerability name and description, required action, CISA dates, overdue state, ransomware-use value, CWEs, source references, NVD link, catalog version, CC0 license, attribution, and retrieval time.

```json
{"daysAddedBack":30,"ransomwareUse":"Known","maxResults":100}
```

### Reliability and limits

- Official CISA KEV JSON feed only; no scraping, browser, proxy, account, key, or paid service.
- Exactly one bounded feed request per run, local filters, stable-CVE deduplication, required-field checks, and hard output limit.
- Reference URLs are exported as catalog data but never fetched. Their content remains subject to each third-party site's policies and licenses.
- CISA updates the living catalog. This tool supports prioritization but does not replace asset-specific security assessment or applicable directives.

### Pricing

- Actor start: USD 0.00005
- Normalized KEV entry: USD 0.001

A two-result Apify smoke run on 256 MB used USD 0.0000987618 of platform resources and completed in 3.624 seconds. The Actor is publicly available with the pricing above.

### Source and reuse

Source: <https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>. CISA distributes the KEV database under [CC0 1.0 Universal](https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/licenses/kev/license.txt). Every row preserves source, license, and non-endorsement information.

### Support

Report reproducible problems with the input, run link, CVE, and expected field.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("koalastuff/cisa-kev-priority-monitor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
