You can use the JSON output from the W3C HTML Checker and programatically
count the number of message types you=E2=80=99re interested in; for example:

  https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=3Dhttps://accenturefederal.com&out=3Djson

If you=E2=80=99re interested only in the error count, your test scripts can
programatically count just the =E2=80=9Ctype: error=E2=80=9D items in that =
JSON output. If
you=E2=80=99re interested in warnings as well, your test scripts can also c=
ount the
=E2=80=9Ctype: info=E2=80=9D items that have a =E2=80=9Csubtype: warning=E2=
=80=9D property.

Depending on what kind of test scripts you=E2=80=99re using, there are other
machine-parsable output formats you might want to try:

  https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=3Dhttps://accenturefederal.com&out=3Dxml
  https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=3Dhttps://accenturefederal.com&out=3Dgnu

The out=3Dgnu format puts each message on a single line, so your test script
could get an error count from that just by piping a few commands together:

  curl -s "https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=3Dhttps://accenturefederal.com&=
out=3Dgnu" | grep ": error:" | wc -l

Or to get a count of the warnings:

  curl -s "https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=3Dhttps://accenturefederal.com&=
out=3Dgnu" | grep ": info warning:" | wc -l
