## 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 + EPSS Vulnerability Intelligence Tracker

A focused utility for developers and agents.

### ⏰ Schedule it

Run on a schedule (`0 8 * * 1`) to monitor changes over time — an always-on CVE watch.

### 📊 What you get

Clean JSON output (20 fields):

- `cveID` — Cve ID
- `vendor` — Vendor
- `product` — Product
- `vulnerability_name` — Vulnerability name
- `kev_added_date` — Kev added date
- `due_date` — Due date
- `required_action` — Required action
- `short_description` — Short description

**Pricing:** $0.120 per CVE (Pay-Per-Event) — about **8 CVEs per $1**.

### 🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it.

**Sample agent prompt:**

```
Run CISA KEV + EPSS Vulnerability Intelligence Tracker on my input and return the structured results.
```

**Agentic payments (x402):** Supports agentic payment via x402 — call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

# Actor input Schema

## `vendor_filter` (type: `string`):

Substring match on the CISA KEV vendorProject field (case-insensitive). Examples: 'microsoft', 'cisco', 'fortinet'. Leave empty to include every vendor in the KEV catalog window.

## `min_epss_score` (type: `string`):

Filter CVEs whose EPSS exploit-probability score is below this threshold (parsed as a float in \[0,1]). EPSS ≥ 0.5 typically flags vulnerabilities with elevated near-term exploitation risk; ≥ 0.9 flags critical/imminent. Use 0 to keep every CVE regardless of EPSS.

## `days_back` (type: `integer`):

How many days back from today to include CISA KEV catalog additions. Default 30 captures the freshest entries (typical triage window). Max 365.

## `max_cves` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the number of CVEs to enrich and push to the dataset (KEV records are sorted newest-first before the cap). Each enriched CVE is a billable record. Range 1-2000.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "min_epss_score": "0.5",
  "days_back": 30,
  "max_cves": 100
}
```

# 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 = {
    "vendor_filter": "",
    "min_epss_score": "0.5",
    "days_back": 30,
    "max_cves": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nexgendata/cisa-kev-vulnerability-intelligence").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}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token

}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("nexgendata/cisa-kev-vulnerability-intelligence").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
