a11y-checker 1.0.4
Asynchronous Python client for the accessibility checker API
Requires Python: >=3.9
Keywords: accessibility, audit, scan, test, async

# a11y-checker

`a11y-checker` is an **asynchronous Python client** for the [Accessibility Checker API](https://wcag.dock.codes/documentation/api-accessibility-checker/) - a tool for **automated accessibility audits** based on WCAG 2.1 / 2.2.  
It lets you easily scan, re-scan, and analyze websites directly from your Python applications.

---

### Features

- Fully asynchronous (non-blocking)
- Multi-language and device scanning
- Fetch, re-scan, or delete audits

---

### Installation

```shell
pip install a11y-checker
```
## Usage Example
```python
import asyncio
from a11y_checker import A11yCheckerClient, Device, Language

async def main():
    async with A11yCheckerClient() as guest:
        # Run a new audit
        audit_request = await guest.scan("https://example.com", lang=Language.EN, device=Device.DESKTOP)
        print(audit_request)

        # Get audit
        audit = await guest.audit(uuid=audit_request['uuid'])
        print(audit)

        # Delete an audit
        await guest.delete_audit(audit['uuid'])

asyncio.run(main())
```
### 🔑 Get Your API Key

You can test as a guest, request an API key, or test the service directly on the website:

from a11y_checker import A11yCheckerClient

async def main():
    async with A11yCheckerClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
        results = await asyncio.gather(
            client.audit(uuid="uuid1"),
            client.audit(uuid="uuid2"),
            client.audit(uuid="uuid3"),
        )
        print(results)

asyncio.run(main())
```
