      Accessibility testing reported a violation with rule_id aria_role_valid for API docs which has role=contentinfo for footer HTML element. As per https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#docconformance, if footer is a descendant of an article, aside, main, nav or section element, or an element with role=article, complementary, main, navigation or region then role=contentinfos is not allowed
