Keyword Arguments

Name	Service	Uber	Type	Data type	Description
after			query	string	A pagination token used with the limit parameter to manage pagination of results. On your first request, don't provide an after token. On subsequent requests, provide the after token from the previous response to continue from that place in the results.
filter			query	string	Filter items using a query in Falcon Query Language (FQL). Wildcards * and empty filter values are unsupported. Available filter fields that support exact match: id, provider, cve_ids, cwe_ids, impact.cvss_v2.base_metrics.vector, impact.cvss_v2.temporal_metrics.vector, impact.cvss_v3.base_metrics.integrity_impact, impact.cvss_v3.base_metrics.vector, impact.cvss_v3.temporal_metrics.vector. Available filter fields that support range comparisons (>, <, >=, <=): created_timestamp, impact.cvss_v2.base_metrics.base_score, impact.cvss_v3.base_metrics.base_score, impact.cvss_v2.temporal_metrics.temporal_score, impact.cvss_v3.temporal_metrics.temporal_score, source_created_timestamp, source_updated_timestamp, updated_timestamp. Required.
limit			query	integer	The number of items to return in this response (default: 100, max: 400). Use with the after parameter to manage pagination of results.
offset			query	string	Starting index of overall result set from which to return ids.
risk_provider			query	string or list of strings	Zero or more risk providers. Zero means all. Supported values: S (for Falcon sensor).
sort			query	string	Sort vulnerabilities by their properties. Available sort options: created_timestamp|asc/desc, updated_timestamp|asc/desc.
parameters			query	dictionary	Full query string parameters payload in JSON format.
