Hello everyone! This may not be the right place but I'm not sure where else to ask.

I recently started using the NIST CVE API (https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/vulnerabilities) to sift through CVE's and noticed that the API is really inconsistent.

Sometimes the API would send less vulnerabilities than it reported (a.i. totalVulns != length of actual vulnerabilities), sometimes even none at all or actually broken JSON.

Has anyone else noticed this aswell? Is the API really just that broken? What else can I do except just retrying and hoping that it will eventually work? I don't want to spam NIST.
