Get the recommended IOS to a model number with the cisco API

[luca.waas]

Hello together,

i am able to get information about known bugs and the next IOS-version where the bug is fixed, like it is in the IOS software checker.

The problem here is, that i would like to give the cisco API all model numbers i have and get back the recommended ios.

Does anyone know if there is any API URL where i could make this curl request?

Thanks in advance

Luca

Only querying using versions is supported in the API. It is an integration with the IOS Software checker. More information below:

You can use the Cisco PSIRT openVuln API to perform queries similar to the Cisco IOS Checker. You can search for Cisco Security Advisories that apply to specific Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software releases and have a Security Impact Rating (SIR) of Critical or High. Note that the tool does not provide information about security advisories that have a SIR of Medium. In addition, the tool does not support Cisco IOS XR Software or interim builds of Cisco IOS Software.

Method	REST API URL	Description

GET	https://api.cisco.com/security/advisories/iosxe?version=<<IOS XE version>>	Used to obtain all published security advisories that affect a given Cisco IOS XE Software version.
