Ability to crawl entire sites

[sandysh]

Hello Pa11y team,
I was wondering if there is a way to crawl entire website. I mean instead of adding a single url, crawl though all the links of a given website and run pa11y for results. Is that possible ? please enlighten me if so.

Thank you.

Hi @sandysh - there's no way to do this in Pa11y itself, but the 18F team wrote a separate Pa11y crawler: https://github.com/18F/pa11y-crawl (they're not actively maintaining it, though)

If you're using continuous integration, we also have Pa11y CI, which accepts an XML sitemap.

An alternative would be to use something like https://github.com/liip/TheA11yMachine
