Go SDK for the Loops API.

Install

Quickstart

package main

import (
    "log"

    loops "github.com/loops-so/loops-go"
)

func main() {
    client := loops.NewClient("YOUR_API_KEY")

    err := client.SendEvent(loops.SendEventRequest{
        Email:     "user@example.com",
        EventName: "signup",
        EventProperties: map[string]any{
            "plan": "pro",
        },
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

Client options

client := loops.NewClient("YOUR_API_KEY",

    loops.WithHTTPClient(myHTTPClient),
    loops.WithUserAgent("my-app/1.0"),
    loops.WithLogger(os.Stderr), // verbose request/response logging
)

Errors

API errors are returned as *loops.APIError with StatusCode and Message:

if err := client.SendEvent(req); err != nil {
    var apiErr *loops.APIError
    if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
        log.Printf("loops api error %d: %s", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Message)
    }
    return err
}

Retries

Requests are automatically retried with exponential backoff and jitter on 429 and 5xx responses (up to 2 retries).

Idempotency

SendEvent and SendTransactional accept an IdempotencyKey field, which is sent as the Idempotency-Key header.

Pagination

ListTransactionals and ListCampaigns return a single page of results along with a *Pagination value. Pass a PaginationParams to control page size and cursor:

items, page, err := client.ListTransactionals(loops.PaginationParams{PerPage: "50"})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
// page.NextCursor is "" when there are no more pages.

To fetch every page, use the generic Paginate helper:

all, err := loops.Paginate(func(cursor string) ([]loops.Transactional, *loops.Pagination, error) {
    return client.ListTransactionals(loops.PaginationParams{Cursor: cursor})
})

Uploads

Upload is a one-call helper that requests a presigned URL, uploads the bytes, and finalizes the asset. Supported content types are image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif and image/webp, up to 4 MB.

f, err := os.Open("hero.png")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer f.Close()
stat, err := f.Stat()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

asset, err := client.Upload(loops.UploadRequest{
    EmailMessageID: "em_abc123",
    ContentType:    "image/png",
    ContentLength:  stat.Size(),
    Body:           f,
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
// asset.FinalURL is the public URL to reference in your email LMX.

For finer control, call CreateUpload and CompleteUpload directly and do the PUT to the presigned URL yourself.

Escape hatch

Client.Do is a low-level entry point for endpoints that do not yet have a dedicated method. It shares the client's auth, User-Agent, retries and backoff. The body is JSON-encoded when non-nil; pass json.RawMessage to forward a pre-encoded payload. The raw *http.Response is returned so the caller decides how to handle non-2xx — close the body when done.

resp, err := client.Do(ctx, http.MethodPost, "/contacts/create", map[string]any{
    "email": "user@example.com",
})
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer resp.Body.Close()

Webhooks

Loops delivers signed events to your configured endpoint. VerifyWebhook checks the webhook-id, webhook-timestamp, and webhook-signature headers against your dashboard signing secret (the whsec_… value), and ParseWebhook decodes the raw body into a typed event.

Read the raw request body before any JSON decoding — the signature is computed over the exact bytes.

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    body, err := io.ReadAll(r.Body)
    if err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "bad request", http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }

    if err := loops.VerifyWebhook(os.Getenv("LOOPS_SIGNING_SECRET"), r.Header, body); err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "invalid signature", http.StatusUnauthorized)
        return
    }

    event, err := loops.ParseWebhook(body)
    if err != nil {
        http.Error(w, "bad payload", http.StatusBadRequest)
        return
    }

    switch e := event.(type) {
    case *loops.WebhookContactCreatedPayload:
        log.Printf("contact created: %s", e.Contact.Email)
    case *loops.WebhookEmailDeliveredPayload:
        log.Printf("delivered to %s (%s)", e.ContactIdentity.Email, e.SourceType)
    default:
        log.Printf("unhandled event: %s", event.Type())
    }

    w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}

Pass loops.WithWebhookTimestampTolerance(5*time.Minute) to VerifyWebhook to also reject stale deliveries (replay protection); it is off by default.
