Programmatic access to the Nel404 Health scanner is planned for the Agency tier. This page outlines the intended design - nothing is live yet.
API access will be included in the Agency tier (R1 199/year). It will not be available on Starter (once-off) or Solo (monthly) plans. Rate limits will apply to prevent abuse.
The API will use Bearer token authentication. After subscribing to the Agency tier, you will be able to generate an API key from your account dashboard. Include it in every request:
Authorization: Bearer nel_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
All endpoints will return JSON. A scan result will look something like:
