GSoC period has come to an end.
I have learnt a lot about how to write well-structured, clean code. I did asynchronous development, documentation, and test-driven development.
I am extremely grateful to my mentors, Terri Oda, Anthony Harrison, John Andersen and Harmandeep Singh for their guidance.

It has been an incredible journey with Python Software Foundation and Intel. Thank you!

What did you do this week?
I am done refactoring NVD API. I have also added documentation for NVD API and incremental updates. I have also added a filter argument for filtering intermediate reports based on tag string.

What is coming up next?
I will be writing some more tests.

Did you get stuck anywhere?
I was getting a lot of 503 requests while refreshing the database multiple times using NVD API. Also asynchronous halting tasks didn't help much. So, I had to add an all over halt using time.sleep() to the task list while fetching the entries. I have also added a limit of 19 hosts in the NVD API (Similar to what I used in CVE DB before GSoC)

What did you do this week?
I have been refactoring NVD API this past week. I have removed the JSON cache in case we fetch feeds using API which was unnecessarily taking a long time. I limited the connections per session to prevent failures.

What is coming up next?
I will be working on changing the above said limit and the interval in case of failed requests.

Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes, I have been trying to fetch NVD feed counts from NVD dashboard which is not returning contiguous dicitonary - Resulting in tests failure. I will be working on this as well.

What did you do this week?
I was working on NVD API. I improved the way I was using asyncio. Wrote some tests and documentation as well.

What is coming up next?
I will be working on the optimzation of NVD API code so that we can use it as the default CVE Retrieval.

Did you get stuck anywhere?
No

What did you do this week?
I have been working on the new NVD API to retrieve CVEs and load the cache. This will act as a backup for our current CVE retrieval and may also allow us to use incremental updates.

I worked on the asyncio library this past week.

What is coming up next?
I will be working on the incremental updates part of the code. I will also add the related documenation and tests.

Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes, I wasn't using the asyncio library properly which led to long retreival time. It was taking me more than 30+ minutes to fetch the CVEs single time.
