Authentication Methods

API Key Authentication (Linear)

• Secure API key access with comprehensive GraphQL endpoint integration
• User-based permissions aligned with Linear workspace access controls
• Workspace-level authentication supporting team collaboration and project visibility

OAuth2 Authentication (Google Calendar)

• Secure OAuth2 flow with proper scope management for calendar access
• Token management supporting refresh tokens for continuous access
• Permission-based access respecting calendar sharing and visibility settings

Getting Started

1. Choose Integration: Select based on your productivity requirements - project management, calendar coordination, or both
2. Configure Authentication: Set up API keys for Linear and OAuth2 credentials for Google Calendar
3. Define Operations: Specify project management and calendar operations with proper data mapping
4. Test Integration: Validate operations and workflow integration before production deployment
5. Optimize Performance: Configure efficient querying and implement proper rate limiting for high-volume operations

Security Considerations

• Credential Management: Store API keys and OAuth tokens securely using environment variables and secure vaults
• Access Control: Implement appropriate permissions and audit logging for project and calendar operations
• Rate Limiting: Respect API quotas and implement efficient querying to prevent service disruptions
• Data Privacy: Ensure sensitive project and calendar data is handled according to privacy requirements

Performance Optimization

API Efficiency

• Batch Operations: Group multiple API calls when possible to reduce latency
• Intelligent Filtering: Use specific filters and search queries to limit data retrieval
• Caching Strategy: Implement appropriate caching for frequently accessed project and calendar data

Workflow Design

• Async Processing: Use background processing for non-critical operations
• Error Handling: Implement robust retry logic for API failures and rate limits
• Resource Management: Monitor API usage and implement usage analytics for optimization
