Queues a Lighthouse audit instead of waiting for one, returning a task `id`. Use it when the audit would outlast a tool call's patience; retrieve with `get_dataforseo_on_page_lighthouse_task_get_json`, and see what is ready with `get_dataforseo_on_page_lighthouse_ready`. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in `tasks[0].result`, outcome in `tasks[0].status_code` - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. ⚠️ Same 245 KB report at the end, so the context cost is deferred, not avoided - narrow it with `categories` or `audits` here, not later. ## Example ```bash theme={null} curl -X POST "https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/dataforseo/on_page/lighthouse/task_post" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d '[{"url": "...", "for_mobile": "...", "categories": "..."}]' ``` ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi/dataforseo.json POST /dataforseo/on_page/lighthouse/task_post openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: DataForSEO API version: 1.0.0 description: DataForSEO API endpoints exposed through the AIsa unified gateway. servers: - url: https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1 security: - BearerAuth: [] paths: /dataforseo/on_page/lighthouse/task_post: post: summary: Setting Lighthouse Tasks description: >- The OnPage Lighthouse API is based on Google’s open-source Lighthouse project for measuring the quality of web pages and web apps. operationId: post_dataforseo_on_page_lighthouse_submit requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: array items: type: object properties: url: type: string description: >- target URL required field target page should be specified with its absolute URL (including http:// or https://) example: https://dataforseo.com/ for_mobile: type: boolean description: >- applies mobile emulation optional field if set to true, Lighthouse will use mobile device and screen emulation to test the page against mobile environment if set to false, the results will be provided for desktop default value: false categories: type: array items: type: string description: >- categories of Lighthouse audits optional field each category is a collection of audits and audit groups that applies weighting and scoring to the section (see official definition)if you ignore this field, we will return data for all categories unless you specify audits use this field to get data for specific categories you indicate herepossible values: seo, performance, best_practices, accessibility audits: type: array items: type: string description: >- Lighthouse audits optional field audits are individual tests Lighthouse runs for each specific feature/optimization/metric to produce a numeric score (see official definition)if you ignore this field, we will return data for all audits use this field to get data for specific audits you indicate herenote that some audits do not belong to a specific category and are stand-alone page quality measurementsin general, there can be several use cases:1. if you ignore categories, you can use this field to get data for the specified audits only for example, if you ignore "categories" and specify "audits": ["metrics/cumulative-layout-shift","metrics/largest-contentful-paint","metrics/total-blocking-time"], you will get data only for these audits2. if you specify a category, you can use this field to additionally receive audits that do not belong to the category(-ies) you specified for example, if you specify "categories": ["seo"] and "audits": ["metrics/cumulative-layout-shift","metrics/largest-contentful-paint","metrics/total-blocking-time"], you will get only these audits under "performance" and all audits under "seo"you can get the full list of possible audits here version: type: string description: >- lighthouse version optional field you can obtain the results specific to a certain Lighthouse version by specifying its number the list of available versions is available through the Lighthouse Versions endpoint language_name: type: string description: >- lighthouse language name optional field you can receive the list of available languages of the search engine with their language_name by making a separate request to https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/on_page/lighthouse/languages default value: English language_code: type: string description: >- lighthouse language code optional field you can receive the list of available languages of the search engine with their language_code by making a separate request to https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/on_page/lighthouse/languages default value: en tag: type: string description: >- user-defined task identifier optional field the character limit is 255 you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result you will find the specified tag value in the data object of the response pingback_url: type: string description: >- notification URL of a completed task optional field when a task is completed we will notify you by GET request sent to the URL you have specified you can use the ‘$id’ string as a $id variable and ‘$tag’ as urlencoded $tag variable.
