Service	Key	Base URL
LinearB	`linearb`	`https://public-api.linearb.io/api/v1`

Connecting

Your client makes a API key in their LinearB settings and pastes it on their link. Operate As tries it with LinearB before saving it, and stores it encrypted. See Services connected with an API key.

Check they're connected

curl https://api.operate.as/v1/me/clients \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

curl https://api.operate.as/v1/me/clients \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

Pass-through

LinearB has no ready-made tools yet. Call any endpoint of its API through Operate As instead, with the client's access attached.

Add the client

In Clients, add your client and select LinearB. Then send them their link.

Your client connects

They paste a API key from their LinearB settings.

Find the endpoint

Pick the call from LinearB's own API docs. Your path is everything after https://public-api.linearb.io/api/v1.

Send it through Operate As

Use the client's ID, the service key linearb and that path. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

Call any endpoint

curl "https://api.operate.as/v1/clients/6f1c2a7e-.../linearb/teams" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

curl "https://api.operate.as/v1/clients/6f1c2a7e-.../linearb/teams" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

Response

  },
  "encoding": "json"
}

When access ends

A key works until your client deletes it in LinearB. They can paste a new one on the same link at any time, and your workflows carry on without changes.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.
