Loop Information Overview

​
Member Status Types

Active Members

Users who have accepted the invitation and can receive review requests.

Pending Members

Users who have been invited but haven’t joined the loop yet.

​
Loop Statistics

This endpoint provides key metrics about your loop:
  • Total Members: Complete count of all loop participants
  • Active Members: Users ready to receive review requests
  • Pending Invitations: Outstanding invitations that need acceptance
  • Activity Timeline: Creation and last update timestamps

Use Cases

​
Monitoring Loop Health

Check if your loop has enough active members: 
def check_loop_health(loop_id, min_active_members=2):
    response = requests.get(f"https://api.hitl.sh/v1/loops/{loop_id}", headers=headers)
    loop_data = response.json()["data"]["loop"]
    
    active_members = loop_data["member_count"] - loop_data["pending_count"]
    
    if active_members < min_active_members:
        print(f"Warning: Loop only has {active_members} active members")
        return False
    
    return True

​
Member Management

Track pending invitations: 
function checkPendingInvitations(loopData) {
    const pendingMembers = loopData.members.filter(member => member.status === 'pending');
    
    if (pendingMembers.length > 0) {
        console.log(`${pendingMembers.length} pending invitations:`);
        pendingMembers.forEach(member => {
            console.log(`- ${member.email} (invited but not joined)`);
        });
    }
    
    return pendingMembers;
}

​
Loop Analytics

Calculate member join rate: 
from datetime import datetime

def calculate_join_rate(loop_data):
    total_members = len(loop_data["members"])
    active_members = sum(1 for m in loop_data["members"] if m["status"] == "active")
    
    if total_members == 0:
        return 0
    
    join_rate = (active_members / total_members) * 100
    return round(join_rate, 2)

# Usage
loop_data = response.json()["data"]["loop"]
join_rate = calculate_join_rate(loop_data)
print(f"Member join rate: {join_rate}%")

Integration Examples

​
Loop Status Dashboard

Build a dashboard to monitor all your loops: 
def get_loop_dashboard():
    # Get all loops
    loops_response = requests.get("https://api.hitl.sh/v1/loops", headers=headers)
    loops = loops_response.json()["data"]["loops"]
    
    dashboard = []
    for loop in loops:
        # Get detailed info for each loop
        detail_response = requests.get(f"https://api.hitl.sh/v1/loops/{loop['id']}", headers=headers)
        loop_detail = detail_response.json()["data"]["loop"]
        
        dashboard.append({
            "name": loop_detail["name"],
            "id": loop_detail["id"],
            "active_members": loop_detail["member_count"] - loop_detail["pending_count"],
            "pending_members": loop_detail["pending_count"],
            "created": loop_detail["created_at"],
            "health": "healthy" if (loop_detail["member_count"] - loop_detail["pending_count"]) >= 2 else "needs_attention"
        })
    
    return dashboard

​
Automated Member Follow-up

Send reminders to pending members: 
async function followUpPendingMembers(loopId) {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api.hitl.sh/v1/loops/${loopId}`, {
        headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` }
    });
    
    const loopData = await response.json();
    const loop = loopData.data.loop;
    
    const pendingMembers = loop.members.filter(member => member.status === 'pending');
    
    for (const member of pendingMembers) {
        // Send reminder email (implement your email service)
        await sendReminderEmail({
            to: member.email,
            subject: `Reminder: Join ${loop.name} loop`,
            loopName: loop.name,
            joinUrl: `https://app.hitl.sh/join/${loop.invite_code}`
        });
    }
    
    return `Sent reminders to ${pendingMembers.length} pending members`;
}
