Linear (API key) Overview#

Linear helps streamline software project management, bug tracking, and task coordination. By using the Linear (API key) API with Pipedream, you can automate routine tasks, sync issues across platforms, and trigger custom workflows. Think auto-assignment of tasks based on specific triggers or pushing updates to a Slack channel when an issue's status changes. These automations save time and ensure that your development team stays focused on coding rather than on administrative overhead.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Linear (API key)	`linearApp`	`app`	This component uses the Linear (API key) app.
Team IDs	`teamIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Project	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Linear (API key) uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Linear (API key) account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Linear (API key) APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Get Backlinks on Ahrefs

Description:Get the backlinks for a domain or URL with details for the referring pages (e.g., anchor and page title).

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.

Action Code#

const ahrefs = require("../../ahrefs.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {

Action Authentication#

Ahrefs uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Ahrefs account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Ahrefs and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Ahrefs API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
