Linear

Connect to Linear. Manage issues, projects, sprints, and development workflows

Supports authentication: OAuth 2.0

Setup

Configure Redirect URL

1. In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection.

2. Find Linear from the list of providers and click Create.

   Note

   By default, a connection using Scalekit’s credentials will be created. If you are testing, go directly to Usage. Before going to production, update your connection by following the steps below.

3. Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI — it will look like https://{your-env-url}/sso/v1/oauth/{connection_id}/callback.

4. Navigate to Linear’s API Settings and select OAuth applications.

5. Click Create new application and enter a name and description.

6. Under Callback URLs, paste the redirect URI copied from Scalekit, then click Create.

Linear provides your Client ID and Client Secret on the application settings page.

Add Credentials

1. In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

2. Enter your credentials:

   • Client ID (from above)
   • Client Secret (from above)
   • Permissions (scopes — see Linear OAuth Scopes)

3. Click Save

Usage

Connect a user’s Linear account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

Python

import scalekit.client, os, json
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "linear"   # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"      # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize Linear:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a GraphQL request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/graphql",
    method="POST",
    body=json.dumps({"query": "{ viewer { id name email } }"})
)
print(result)
