How to invoke chrome extension from application with parameters and receive response for the same?

I am using Accessibility Insights extension to find accessibility issues in web apps and sites. Now, I wanted to create an application through which I want to invoke this extension along with my URLs and want the issues found by the extension for my URLs as a response. I am wondering if this is possible with .NET or JavaScript applications or by any other way?

Solution

  • You might consider using the Accessibility Insights scanning CLI package, available here. This CLI shares a lot of code with in the browser extension, but without requiring you to drive any browser UI elements.

    This CLI is still in fairly early development, so there's always a potential risk of command line changes in future versions, but we'll try to keep things as backward-compatible as we can.
