We would very much appreciate it! Do your test scripts need the precise count or do they just need to know whether the count is zero or non-zero? If they only need to know if they’re zero or non-zero, then an easy way to do that is just to use the gnu=out output format. Because in that case, if you only care about errors, and you check a document that has no errors, it will return nothing at all; for example: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https://sideshowbarker.net&out=gnu&level=error That just returns an empty document, which is what’s expected when the checker finds no errors to report. Compare that to the output from this: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https://accenturefederal.com&out=gnu&level=error If you also care about warnings, you can omit the “&level=error” parameter: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https://accenturefederal.com&out=gnu Either way, your test script could simply just check to see if the result is an empty document. If the result isn’t an empty document, then that means the checker emitted errors and/or warnings. —Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith https://people.w3.org/mike
