Test Example in C#

executeScript in C#
Initiate an accessibility scan by calling the following in your C# Appium tests:
axeSettings = new Dictionary<string, string>();
axeSettings.Add("apiKey", "<your-api-key>");
var result = _driver.ExecuteScript("axe:scan", axeSettings);
Example With Page Source
When Appium's page source API is incorporated into your tests, consider optimizing performance by passing it through the execute script method. While providing the page source is optional, we advise against it unless you are confident that the page source accurately reflects your application's current state and remains unmodified. For more precise results, it's recommended to refrain from passing the page source.
axeSettings = new Dictionary<string, string>();
axeSettings.Add("apiKey", "<your-api-key>");
var pageSource = _driver.PageSource;
var result = _driver.ExecuteScript("axe:scan", axeSettings, pageSource);
