# Linear credentials
|
|
|
|
You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:
|
|
|
|
* [Linear Trigger](/integrations/builtin/trigger-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.lineartrigger/)
|
|
* [Linear](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.linear/)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Create a [Linear](https://linear.app/){:target=_blank .external-link} account.
|
|
|
|
## Supported authentication methods
|
|
|
|
- API key
|
|
- OAuth2
|
|
|
|
## Related resources
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Linear's API documentation](https://developers.linear.app/docs/graphql/working-with-the-graphql-api){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information about the service.
|
|
|
|
## Using API key
|
|
|
|
To configure this credential, you'll need:
|
|
|
|
- A personal **API Key**: Create an API key in your [**Settings > API**](https://linear.app/n8n/settings/api){:target=_blank .external-link}. Refer to the [Linear Personal API keys documentation](https://developers.linear.app/docs/graphql/working-with-the-graphql-api#personal-api-keys){:target=_blank .external-link} for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Using OAuth2
|
|
|
|
To configure this credential, you'll need:
|
|
|
|
- A **Client ID**: Generated when you create a new OAuth2 application.
|
|
- A **Client Secret**: Generated when you create a new OAuth2 application.
|
|
- Select the **Actor**: The actor defines how the OAuth2 application should create issues, comments and other changes. Options include:
|
|
- **User** (Linear's default): The application creates resources as the authorizing user. Use this option if you want each user to do their own authentication.
|
|
- **Application**: The application creates resources as itself. Use this option if you have only one user (like an admin) authorizing the application.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [Linear OAuth2 Authentication documentation](https://developers.linear.app/docs/oauth/authentication){:target=_blank .external-link} for more detailed instructions and explanations. Use the n8n **OAuth Redirect URL** as the **Redirect callback URL** in your Linear OAuth2 application.
