Accessibility Audit API FAQs

The Accessibility Audit API can detect various types of accessibility violations, including issues related to color contrast, missing alt text for images, improper heading structures, and other WCAG compliance failures.

The Accessibility Audit API provides output in JSON format, which includes detailed reports on violations, warnings, and best practices for accessibility compliance.

You can integrate the Accessibility Audit API into your web development workflow by running audits on your web pages during the development phase to identify and fix accessibility issues before deployment.

The core benefits of using the Accessibility Audit API include improving website accessibility for users with disabilities, ensuring compliance with ADA and EAA regulations, and enhancing overall user experience.

The API's audit reports include fields such as 'violation type', 'description', 'impact level', 'element affected', and 'suggested fixes', providing comprehensive insights into accessibility issues.

The Accessibility Audit API returns data related to accessibility violations, warnings, and best practices for web pages. This includes a summary score, detailed category scores, and specific issues identified during the audit.

The response data is structured in JSON format, featuring a summary section with overall scores, a category summary with individual scores and issue counts, and detailed lists of issues for each category, including severity and suggested fixes.

The primary parameter for the Accessibility Audit API is the URL of the web page to be audited. Users can customize their requests by specifying different URLs to analyze various pages for accessibility compliance.

Key fields include 'score' (overall accessibility score), 'grade' (letter grade for compliance), 'totalIssues' (total number of issues found), and 'issues' (specific problems identified, including severity and messages).

The endpoint provides information on accessibility violations, warnings, and best practices, categorized by areas such as Images & Alt Text, Headings, and Color Contrast, allowing users to pinpoint specific compliance issues.

Users can utilize the returned data to prioritize fixes based on severity and category scores, implement recommended changes, and track improvements over time by comparing audit results across different versions of their web pages.

Data accuracy is maintained through adherence to WCAG guidelines and regular updates to the auditing algorithms, ensuring that the API reflects current best practices and compliance standards for web accessibility.

Typical use cases include running audits during web development to identify accessibility issues, conducting compliance checks for existing websites, and generating reports for stakeholders to demonstrate adherence to accessibility standards.

General FAQs

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.

You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.

If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.

The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first. 

No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.

 Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment. 

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit' response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
