WCAG testing API with explicit coverage

The WCAG testing API resolves the profile your technical baseline names and stores that exact version with the result. Coverage reports what ran, what was only partially observed, and which success criteria still need human evaluation.

For teams that need inspectable WCAG evidence rather than an unexplained score

Coverage is a first-class result, so a machine-clean scan cannot be mistaken for a complete WCAG evaluation.

Choose the technical profile behind this capability.

Choose the WCAG version and level the project requires. The profile pins criterion mappings and coverage so the result does not depend on a moving default.

Pin the technical target in the evidence.

A report resolves convenience aliases such as latest to a concrete version so historical results remain interpretable.

Ask for a named WCAG target, not a generic accessibility score.

The request makes profile, baseline, and gate intent explicit so the response can expose its coverage boundary.

Result: criteria-linked findings plus open human evaluation

Keep the WCAG profile and its coverage attached to every scan.

Run a free scan with a named WCAG profile, inspect which checks were automated or manual, and keep that version in every later request.
