executeScript in JavaScript
Initiate an accessibility scan by calling the following in your JavaScript Appium tests:
const settings = { apiKey: '<your-api-key-here' }
const result = await driver.execute('axe:scan', settings)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.
const settings = { apiKey: '<your-api-key-here' }
const pageSource = await driver.getPageSource()
const result = await driver.execute('axe:scan', settings, pageSource)Full Example with UIAutomator2
const {remote} = require('webdriverio');
const wdOpts = {
hostname: process.env.APPIUM_HOST || 'localhost',
port: parseInt(process.env.APPIUM_PORT, 10) || 4723,
logLevel: 'info',
capabilities: {
platformName: 'Android',
'appium:automationName': 'UiAutomator2',
'appium:deviceName': 'Android',

}
async function runAccessibilityScan() {
const driver = await remote(wdOpts);
try {
const settings = { apiKey: '<your-api-key-here>' }
const result = await driver.execute('axe:scan', settings)
} finally {
await driver.pause(1000);
await driver.deleteSession();
}
}
runAccessibilityScan().catch(console.error);Full Example with XCUITest
