GetReviewableHITs Operation

Description

The GetReviewableHITs operation retrieves the HITs that have a status of Reviewable that belong to the Requester calling the operation.

You can use this operation to determine which of your HITs have results, then retrieve those results with the GetAssignmentsForHIT operation. Once a HIT's results have been retrieved and the assignments have been approved or rejected (with ApproveAssignment or RejectAssignment), you can call DisposeHIT to remove the HIT from the results of a call to GetReviewableHITs.

Results are sorted and divided into numbered "pages," and a single page of results is returned by the operation. Sorting and pagination can be controlled with parameters to the operation.
