Private OAuth 2.0 Apps

Overview​

OAuth 2.0 allows users to authorize your app to access their Linear workspace data. At the end of the OAuth flow, your app receives an access token that enables interaction with the Linear GraphQL API and webhook events.

To use the AutoKitteh server's default Linear OAuth 2.0 app, see the Default OAuth guide.

To use personal API keys, see the API Keys guide.
