Question about the Microsoft Security Updates API

Question
-
Hi team,
I am sorry if this is not the appropiated place to make this question.
I was wondering if you can help me on find the reason of why the Microsoft Security Updates API is not retrieving info for a big number of KBs.
I see a couple of issues relating to this topic in the Github repository but with no answer:
- https://github.com/microsoft/MSRC-Microsoft-Security-Updates-API/issues/48
- https://github.com/microsoft/MSRC-Microsoft-Security-Updates-API/issues/58
We are using this API programatically to enrich a vulnerability scanner and it is not working since the API doesn't provide the whole list of security updates and we do not find any other place to get that information along with the supersedences.
Thanks in advance,
Chema.

Thank you! I'll do it.
If so, I would review https://github.com/microsoft/MSRC-Microsoft-Security-Updates-API#security-update-guide-support which points to this direction.
Regards.
