Anticipated errors & fixes

"Authentication required" in the GraphQL response

Cause: API key is wrong. Note: Linear's Authorization header takes the raw key with NO "Bearer" prefix — a wrapper bug here would look exactly like a bad key.

Fix: Regenerate the key at linear.app/settings/api.

Empty issue list despite issues existing

Cause: teamId is wrong — Linear teams have their own UUID, separate from the workspace.

Fix: Find the correct team ID via Linear's own API explorer or team settings URL.

401 "Unauthorized: Invalid API key."

Cause: Your eConnect Authorization header is missing, malformed, or the key was regenerated/revoked.

Fix: Copy your api_key fresh from the eConnect dashboard and confirm the header reads exactly "Authorization: Bearer <key>".

429 "Too many requests"

Cause: You've exceeded your plan's per-minute rate limit.

Fix: Wait a minute and retry, or upgrade your plan for a higher per-minute limit.

429 "Monthly API limit exceeded"

Cause: You've used your plan's full monthly request allowance.

Fix: Wait for your next billing cycle reset, or upgrade to a plan with a higher monthly limit.
