Loops

Loops is a modern email platform purpose-built for software companies, combining product, marketing, and transactional email behind a single REST API and a single audience. Contacts, contact properties, mailing lists, events, segments, campaigns, email messages, themes, components, uploads, transactional sends, and dedicated sending IPs are all first-class API resources, with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec published at app.loops.so/openapi.yaml. Lifecycle workflows ("loops") use the Events API as their trigger, an HMAC-SHA256-signed webhook stream broadcasts every contact and email event for real-time integrations, and official SDKs ship for JavaScript, Nuxt, PHP, Ruby, and Go alongside an official Go-based CLI. Transactional email is included on every plan, team seats are unlimited, and a generous free tier covers 1,000 contacts and 4,000 sends per month — making Loops a Tier-1 developer-first email service for SaaS teams from waitlist to IPO.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Loops the way a machine reads it — 65 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Loops scores 48.2/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 61/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Loops

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Loops. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
