No install needed — use npx:

Sample output:

Scanning https://example.com …

URL:   https://example.com/

CI/CD integration (--json flag)

Use --json to get machine-readable output and a non-zero exit code when the score is below 90:

npx accessalyze scan https://example.com --json

{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "score": 74,
  "violationCount": 16,
  "summary": {
    "critical": 2,
    "serious": 4,
    "moderate": 7,
    "minor": 3,
    "total": 16
  },
  "violations": [...],
  "wcagLevel": "AA",
  "scannedAt": "2026-04-24T14:00:00.000Z",
  "poweredBy": "Accessalyze"
}

GitHub Actions example:

- name: Accessibility scan
  run: npx accessalyze scan https://staging.example.com --json

The step fails automatically if the accessibility score is below 90.
