Cant access exportFiles from defender for enpoint API (api/machines/SoftwareVulnerabilitiesExport)
I am using the following API endpoint to extract vulnerabilities from defender for endpoint:
https://api-eu.securitycenter.microsoft.com/api/machines/SoftwareVulnerabilitiesExport (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/api/get-assessment-software-vulnerabilities#261-request-example ).
The endpoint returns links to the files containing the data. However, when we try to access these links we get this error.
This was working fine for the past weeks and I havent changed anything.
Any ideas what the problem is?

- Same here. Microsoft broke something and we just have to wait for them to fix it or work around it with the SoftwareVulnerabilitiesByMachine endpoint, which in my testing is 5x slower to retrieve millions of vulnerabilities (and returns JSON with a different schema).
Please go to https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home?#/servicehealth and report that the exportFiles coming from https://api.securitycenter.microsoft.com/api/machines/SoftwareVulnerabilitiesExport are not found (404 The specified blob does not exist.)- We'll be raising a case as well. Broke here 2 / 3 days ago. Do not have time for these failures. This is also not the first time MS broke the extraction.
