# Linear

### Prerequisites

* A Linear account with sufficient access to the workspace & projects you wish to sync with Coworker.

### Generating the credentials

1. Go to <https://linear.app/settings/account/security> to start the api key process. Note: Make sure you're on the correct workspace.
   * Alternatively, go to <https://www.linear.app> and navigate to the workplace settings in the top left corner. Then, navigate to the Security & access section.

3. **IMPORTANT: Your API key is automatically copied to your clipboard once it's created. You won't be able to view it later, so please save it somewhere secure now.**

### Information required for the Coworker connection:

* `auth_token`: The personal API key you generated earlier
* `workspace_name`: Workspace identifier, used in your workspace URL (ie. `linear.app/[my-workspace]` -> `my-workspace`)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://village-labs.gitbook.io/coworker-product-and-developer-docs/data-connections/linear.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
