🧪 loop-api-sandbox

This repository is a developer sandbox for exploring, testing, and integrating with Loop Returns’ APIs and webhooks. It serves as both a playground and a reference implementation for developers building into Loop.

---

💡 What’s Included

• 🛠️ Modular helper functions for every public Loop API
• 🧪 Real-world scenario scripts for tasks like:
• 🔁 Webhook handling and validation utilities
• 🧱 Support for both:
  • Platform APIs – tightly coupled to Loop’s return system
  • Commerce Data APIs – decoupled, headless-first models (e.g. products, variants, inventory)

Whether you’re testing return flows, integrating with an OMS, or experimenting with Loop’s APIs — this repo gives you a running start.
