Repo with getting started projects for the Microsoft Security Updates API (portal.msrc.microsoft.com)

Welcome

Microsoft provides an API for programmatic access to security update details using Common Vulnerability Reporting Format. View our blog post for more info.

The Microsoft Security Update Guide is the web experience to find security update detail.

This repository contains sample code and documentation for the Microsoft Security Updates API (https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/developer), including:

• source code for the MsrcSecurityUpdates PowerShell module
• sample code for using the MsrcSecurityUpdates PowerShell module
• OpenAPI/Swagger definition for the Microsoft Security Updates API

Getting the MsrcSecurityUpdates PowerShell Module

Getting started with the MsrcSecurityUpdates module can be done like this:

### Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery
###  !! Requires PowerShell V5
Install-Module -Name MsrcSecurityUpdates -Scope CurrentUser

### Load the module
Import-Module -Name MsrcSecurityUpdates

Once the module is loaded, check out our PowerShell samples

API Keys

The Security Updates API requires an API key. To obtain an API key please visit the Security Update Guide Developer page. For help using the Security Updates Guide please visit the Security Updates Guide Community Forum.

NOTE: Generating an API key requires signing in with an @outlook.com, @live.com, or @microsoft.com email address. If you do not have one of these email addresses, you can create a personal outlook account to access this service. In the future, we will be removing this authentication requirement entirely.

Change Log

For up to date major changes, please read the psd1 included in the src folder. This can also be seen on the Microsoft Powershell Gallery.
