Retrieve a site’s stored result

This is the Lookup API: it never starts a scan. Check scannedAt, use maxAgeDays to require a more recent result, and scan the site with POST /scans when you need a new one. Every response has an ETag: send it back in If-None-Match, and while the result is unchanged you get a free 304 with no body.

Request

curl "https://api.checkanysite.com/v1/sites/wikipedia.org?checks=ai" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CHECKANYSITE_API_KEY"

from checkanysite import CheckAnySite

client = CheckAnySite()  # Reads the key from CHECKANYSITE_API_KEY.

site = client.sites.retrieve("wikipedia.org", checks=["ai"])

const url = 'https://api.checkanysite.com/v1/sites/wikipedia.org?checks=ai';
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CHECKANYSITE_API_KEY}`,
  },
});
const site = await response.json();
