REST API

Scan Programmatically with Our REST API

Send a POST request and get structured accessibility data back. Every scan, issue, and report is available via the API.

request.js

const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.allyshield.net/v1/scans",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_...",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      url: "https://example.com",
      standard: "wcag22aa",
      depth: 3
    })
  }
);

CATCH IT BEFORE IT SHIPS

Regression detection, keyboard audits, mobile targets.

The boring bugs that crash screen-reader users mid-flow — the ones axe-core alone won't catch — are exactly where AllyShield earns its keep.

/SCANS/[ID]/COMPARE

Before / after deltas on every scan

One click shows which rules are newly failing since your last scan and which ones you fixed. Lives at /scans/[id]/compare and is linked from every completed scan.

✓Score delta per severity
✓New vs fixed issue lists
✓Per-rule drill-down

KEYBOARD

Playwright-driven keyboard audit

A real browser tabs through the page and records where focus goes. We flag the traps, missing skip links, and invisible focus indicators that cause user rage reports.

✓allyshield-kbd-focus-trap
✓allyshield-kbd-skip-link-missing
✓allyshield-kbd-no-focus-indicator
✓allyshield-kbd-tab-order-mismatch

MOBILE

44×44 touch target audit

The mobile viewport scan measures every focusable element's bounding box and flags anything too small to hit comfortably with a thumb.

✓Runs at 375×812
✓WCAG 2.5.5 coverage
