# node-wcag [](http://travis-ci.org/cfpb/node-wcag) [](https://coveralls.io/r/cfpb/node-wcag)
WCAG and Section 508 accessibility audits from the command line or as a traditional node module.
## CLI installation
```sh
$ npm install wcag --global
```
## CLI usage
First, get a free [AChecker API ID](http://achecker.ca/register.php). Then:
```sh
$ wcag wikipedia.org --id=
```
Also works against localhost:
```sh
$ wcag localhost:8000 --id=
```
### Options
#### id
Type: `string`
Your free [AChecker API ID](http://achecker.ca).
```sh
$ wcag wikipedia.org --id=845cc0a8435cb0a766396a8c56399a43df0c843
```
If an `id` is not passed on the command line,
the tool will check for an `ACHECKER_ID` environment variable.
#### guide
Type: `string`
Choices: `508`, `WCAG1-A`, `WCAG1-AA`, `WCAG1-AAA`, `WCAG2-A`, `WCAG2-AA`, `WCAG2-AAA`, `BITV1`, `STANCA`
Default: `WCAG2-AA`
The accessbility guideline to validate against.
```sh
$ wcag wikipedia.org --id= --guide=508
$ wcag wikipedia.org --id= --guide=BITV1
```
## Module installation
```sh
$ npm install wcag
```
## Module usage
```javascript
var wcag = require('wcag');
var options = {
id: '69f6ea6a9e30b37c3d341d3b716df218f8942c0e',
uri: 'http://contolini.github.io/node-wcag/test/fixtures/whitehouse.html',
guide: 'WCAG2-AA'
};
wcag(options, function (error, data) {
