What is the best way to search Linear issues via the API from the command line?▼

The best way to search Linear issues from the command line is by sending GraphQL queries through curl. Using the LINEAR_API_KEY for authorization, you can query the Linear GraphQL endpoint directly in your terminal to retrieve specific issues.

Do I need a LINEAR_API_KEY to interact with Linear teams and projects via curl?▼

Yes, a LINEAR_API_KEY is required to interact with Linear teams and projects via curl. The Skill uses this API key for authorization in the GraphQL request header, completely bypassing the need for an OAuth setup.

How does GraphQL API access work for automating Linear tasks?▼

GraphQL API access for automating Linear tasks works by sending structured queries and mutations to the Linear GraphQL endpoint via curl. You pass the LINEAR_API_KEY in the Authorization header to create, update, or search issues and projects programmatically.

What are the limitations of using curl and a LINEAR_API_KEY for Linear automation?▼

Using curl and a LINEAR_API_KEY for Linear automation is limited to executing GraphQL API requests for issues, projects, and teams. It is designed for CLI, scripts, and CI environments, meaning it does not handle interactive OAuth flows or provide a graphical user interface.
